Questlove ain't letting David Chang—whom he famously challenged to a fried-chicken throwdown on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon—stop him from conquering the food world. The Roots drummer makes his culinary debut with this standing-only joint inside Chelsea Market, peddling buttermilk-soak drumsticks. The chef-musician expands his offerings beyond the bird with cross-cultural dishes such as truffled-egg dumplings, carrot-pineapple cupcakes with Thai red-curry icing, and watermelon jalapeño slushes. Grab your order from a striped counter manned by staff in stylish tees custom-designed by Filip Pagowski, the graphic artist behind Comme Des Garcons' heart-shaped logo.
