    The other day, my girlfriend and I checked out a new restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.  Madaleine Mae has been open since Super Tuesday (even if its website is emblazoned "Fall 2007"), and serves up some tasty Southern food including superb fried chicken, some very good succotash, and even an appetizer consisting of some…
