Last year, Questlove challenged David Chang to a fried-chicken showdown. Chang won, but Questlove’s fighting back by opening his own place in Chelsea Market with restaurateur Stephen Starr. The Hybird menu is broken down into three categories: Love’s Drumsticks, which you can get with biscuits and honey butter; Dumplings, in variations like “Crème de la Crab,” “Tofu Tofu,” and “Curry Up Chicken”; and Questolicious Cupcakes. If anyone can save cupcakes, it’s Questlove and his “Sexual Chocolate” and “Miso Ho-ney” flavors. Take a look at the food, space, and menu, straight ahead.
