Acclaimed drummer, DJ, producer and member of the The Roots - Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson, is making his way into the culinary world with a series of new food ventures and food events. 

?uestlove made his culinary debut in April 2011 with the ”?uestlove Cook Off” in Philadelphia in which Nine chefs, chosen by ?uestlove through Twitter, competed in the day long contest which ended in a five course meal presented by each candidate.  The event was judged by Restaurateur Audrey Taichman, food critics Marcos Espinoza and Drew Lazor, along with actress Sasha Gray and ?uestlove.

In October 2011, ?uestlove will host  Philadelphia  top chefs: Jose Garces, Jennifer Carroll, Marc Vetri, and Michael Solomonov at a private charity event benefiting the Urban Zen Center in Manhattan.
