One of the OG's of the smash burger scene is opening a rotisserie chicken spot in Union Square

The Rotisserie Haus brings affordable fire-roasted comfort food to Time Out Market New York. The concept centers on rotisserie chicken, with an emphasis on the full process behind a quality bird, including sourcing, brining, seasoning, prep, cooking, and the real costs of running a New York kitchen. Mark Mendaros, known for burger-focused simplicity, aims to apply the same approach to rotisserie chicken by using good ingredients cooked with care. The menu also includes steaks and other proteins, with “fire and time” handling much of the work. Pricing is designed to stay fair while still doing things the right way.

"“There's a lot that goes into a rotisserie chicken that people don't always see-sourcing quality birds, brining, seasoning, prep, the cook itself, plus rent, labor, and everything it takes to run a kitchen in New York,” he says. “The costs add up quickly.”"

"“Rotisserie has always appealed to me,” said Mendaros. “There's something honest about it-the slow spin, the fire, the crispy skin. You can't hide behind it, same as a smash burger. Just good ingredients, cooked with care.”"

"“At The Rotisserie Haus...we've worked hard to keep our pricing fair while still doing things the right way. We want guests to feel good about what they're getting, every time.”"
