Simon Kim's Flatiron fried chicken temple pairs gluten-free Korean-American chicken with the country's deepest Champagne list.

Executive Chef SK Kim built the menu around gluten-free rice-flour batter and clean, sustainably sourced chicken, culminating in the signature Bucket List feast of consommé, banchan, glazed wings and thighs, cold perilla noodles, and soft serve. Designed by Rockwell Group as what its own team calls a cathedral of fried chicken, the Flatiron dining room from the COTE Korean Steakhouse team pairs its birds with an enormous Champagne program built for toasting.
