Melba Wilson turned a neighborhood restaurant into a Harlem institution — and now her incredible story is headed to television.
The legendary restaurateur behind Melba’s sits down with Natasha Verma to talk about building her soul food empire, the family and Harlem roots that shaped her, and the hustle behind more than 20 years of success.
 
Plus, Melba opens up about American Comfort, the new Apple TV comedy inspired by her life and restaurant, starring Danielle Brooks as Melba, written by black-ish creator Kenya Barris and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey — with Melba herself serving as an executive producer.
 From her famous chicken and eggnog waffles to entrepreneurship, community, legacy and now Hollywood — this is the story behind the woman who made Melba’s a New York institution.
