Gospel Uptown

GU's Healthful Soul Fusion menu ventures beyond familiar soul and neo-soul offerings to create an array of choices transcending the traditional Southern offerings with creative contemporary combinations – flavors and styles from non-Southern genres; the result is a cuisine found nowhere else in Harlem.

Leading the GU culinary team is the classically trained chef Kenneth Collins, who calls his cooking style "multi-ethnic nouvelle." This eclectic approach reflects his passion for blending elements of various world cuisines – French, Indian, Asian and Italian – with the flavors of his Texas youth experienced in his grandmother’s kitchen, driving him to seek creative and innovative ways of adding zest, excitement, and fun to familiar foods.
