On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visited The Redhead twice, a bar and comfort-food restaurant on East 13th Street in Manhattan's East Village where chef Meg Grace served homemade pretzels with beer cheese alongside buttermilk fried chicken and shrimp and grits. The Redhead had operated at that address since 2006, serving cocktails and Southern-inspired comfort food.
