The Starr Restaurant Organization has partnered with the longtime drummer/deejay/producer to open Hybrid, in New York City’s Chelsea Market.

Hybrid will open on May 18. Among its inaugural menu items will be “Love Drumsticks,” ?uest’s take on fried chicken, which he cooked in a challenge on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.”
