About Sarah

Chef Sarah Simmons was recently named one of America's Greatest New Cooks by Food & Wine magazine. Her first venture, CITY GRIT, features guest chefs and unique dining experiences and serves as a resource for cutting-edge culinary trends. Her newest spot, Birds & Bubbles in New York City, dishes out elevated takes on Southern classics while spotlighting the perfect pairing of fried chicken and sparkling wines. “I made fried chicken every day for 30 days trying to find my signature take,” says Simmons. Now, the restaurant is all about popping Champagne and celebrating the little things – like the perfect piece of fried chicken.
