The Ample Hills Ice Cream Founders Get Into the Chicken Game

Skip to main content Current eater city: New York Plus, a new wine bar will feature pours from underdog wineries Jun 30, 2025, 2:35 PM UTC Founders of the now-closed ice cream empire, Ample Hills, Jackie Cuscuna and Brian Smith, are trying out a spin on the smash burger made with chicken, not beef. 'It's cracklin' chicken — freshly ground from thigh meat, hand-formed, smashed, and griddled,' reports Andrea Strong in her Substack, the Strong Buzz. Their fast-casual spot will be called Ramblin' Chick with a menu that also includes chicken hot dogs steamed in root beer, chicken chili, chicken cheesesteaks, sloppy joes, fries, and soft serve shakes. The duo doesn't have a space yet, but they're hoping to open in Gowanus. In the meantime, Strong is hosting a preview of Ramblin' Chick at No. 7 (627 Vanderbilt Avenue, at St. Marks Avenue) on Tuesday, July 22, for a menu that includes the smash burger, chicken dogs, chicken nuggets with Ramblin' sauce, shoestring fries, mac and cheese topped with pretzel-potato chip crumble, and a chopped kale salad. Tickets are $50 and require a subscription to her Substack. Former owner John DeLucie of ultra-exclusive the Lion, previously in Greenwich Village, and Tribeca's White Street (which featured the late Floyd Cardoz in the kitchen), is opening a wine bar at 46 W. 22nd Street. Abrams — the chief legal analyst of On Patrol: Live — is opening Danny's, an American wine bistro, in the fall. The restaurant will showcase lesser-known wines from around the U.S., notes Page Six, from wineries in New York, Virginia, Texas, Colorado, and Michigan. No word yet on who the chef will be. Mads Reflund of Greenpoint's Ilis is opening the French doors and offering a less-formal summer menu. It will be four courses for $85 as of July 1 through September. Dishes could include items like fresh cheese with peas and almonds; squid with beans; quail with summer squash and spinale, and berries with amazake. (There's also a seven-course menu for $148 and wine pairing options.) The price is about half of the average price for a tasting at Ilis during the year. 'People want lighter meals during the summer,' says Reflund. Diners can order additional items a la carte.
