A pop-up of Questlove’s new culinary and music venture, ?uest Loves Food, made it’s Philly debut last night at Night Market. Currently they have gigs in NYC and LA I was told, especially during the upcoming awards season, but they could infiltrate the market here in Philly – AND YOU WANT THEM TOO. Delicious!!!
