Unlike other popular Brooklyn spots with similar offerings, Peaches HotHouse’s menu showcases that southern food isn't as simple as Baked Mac & Cheese and Fried Chicken—but it also requires an abundance of soul. At this Bed-Stuy eatery founded by Craig Samuel and Ben Grossman, their menu boasts classics like the signature Fried Chicken, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Best Chicken Sandwich Anywhere, Fried Catfish, and more. And sure to hit up its sister spots at nearby Peaches Kitchen & Bar and Peaches Grand in Clinton Hill.

We’re confident that the fried chicken sandwich at Peaches Hothouse went to the Cristiano Ronaldo school of self-promotion. On the menu, it’s called “The Best Chicken Sandwich Anywhere,” and the bun is lathered in comeback sauce—a combination of mayo, ketchup, honey, and Cajun seasoning. Juices from the Nashville-style hot chicken run down your hand as soon as you pick this sandwich up, while the cayenne on the hot and extra hot versions hits your nose like smelling salts.

Fried chicken is nearly ubiquitous in Bed-Stuy, but no one does it better than The HotHouse, sister restaurant to Peaches, just a few blocks east. One look at your crispy, juicy “hot chicken”—a specialty in Nashville, made with a spice rub either before or after it’s breaded—and it’s clear you’re in for a delicious meal. Here it’s served “regular, hot, or extra hot,” and paired with traditional Southern sides such as collard greens and creamy grits.

A majority of my seven years in Brooklyn was spent in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. It will always be the best neighborhood, in my humble transplant opinion. While my favorite coffee shop with the best Haitian patties closed its doors this year, the best place to spend a hot afternoon or cold night is Peaches HotHouse. Arguably some of the best fried chicken and cornbread in Brooklyn can be found here." — Mariah Tyler, Photo Editor

Peaches is a restaurant that takes cues from classic American dishes and the preparations found in the American South, the former home to Marietta Cade also called Peaches, who was born and raised there. The menu offers an astonishing variety of starters and salads to get you in the mood for a cornmeal-crusted catfish, turkey meatloaf, or the famous lemon pepper chicken on their menu. One can order brunch at any time of the day or just grab a burger.
