Our Story

"The bacon peanut brittle, served in a jar that a diner can take home, is an instant classic, a way to fill up quickly and a clue to the kitchen’s unpretentious bearings. The Redhead speaks with a pronounced Southern accent.”

- Frank Bruni, New York Times

Mix a hip gastropub and updated Southern comfort foods and you get The Redhead, a popular neighborhood restaurant run by Meg, Gregg and Rob in the East Village of New York City. While the restaurant is a hit among locals, it's the standout snack, Bacon Peanut Brittles, that's earning food cred beyond the bar stools. Meg has even drummed up a mini side business by packing and shipping this better tasting cousin of the Beer Nut to bacon and snack lovers across the country.
