Fields Good Chicken opens in New York City

June 20, 2014

Fields Good Chicken, a healthy fast casual concept featuring grilled and roasted chicken, opened recently at 101 Maiden Lane in the Manhattan Financial District.

"While traveling cross-country in pursuit of a professional cycling career, my goal was to eat quickly and healthfully so I could get back on my bike and compete," said Field Failing, founder and managing partner, in a company press release. “I soon discovered that eating well felt just as difficult as biking 130 miles a day; there just weren’t good healthy options out there.”

Fields features air-chilled, antibiotic-free chicken sourced from Free Bird. The chicken is prepared grilled, roasted or pulled and served in salads, sandwiches and bowls. All sauces are made in-house.

A whole roasted bird is also available to order, along with sides, chicken noodle soup and desserts sourced from Greyston Bakery in Yonkers, N.Y.

The 20-seat restaurant, designed by Nemaworkshop, features reclaimed barn wood paneled-walls and dark wood butcher-block tables paired with white Shaker-style chairs and an open kitchen. The menu is posted on a custom-made chalkboard.

The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fields also plans to add online ordering soon.
