A Harlem Story

New York in 2012 in search of the legendary mac ‘n’ cheese
We’d heard so much about, but we were truly inspired by what else we found….

Harlem revealed itself to us with open arms… a melting pot of culture! A vibrant fusion of community, art, music and food – soul food!

We discovered food is at the heart of the community, it’s an event. Friends and family come together nourishing their soul, the people of Harlem talked about food with complete passion. Their famous chicken, ribs and of course mac ‘n’ cheese recipes which has been passed through the generations was a true representation of “what your momma would make you”.

Soul food didn’t come alone. The atmosphere imprinted on us, it’s eclectic music, infectious vibe embodies everything and everyone it touched. A place we wanted to be part of and didn’t want to leave.

We fell in love instantly with how food was at the heart and spirit of the Harlem community. From that day onwards we have worked with a talented team to develop our own interpretation and Holy Moly was born.
