Nas: Sweet Chick

Nas is a Brooklyn native legendary hip hop artist who opened his first restaurant in his home neighborhood, Williamsburg. Nas proudly serves a menu of elevated southern cuisine, keeping the classic fried chicken and sides, but going as culinarily far as serving an octopus dish with Mediterranean seasoning and burnt orange.

Nas himself is behind a lot of ideas on the menu, and as his music career remains on hiatus, he has been opening many more Sweet Chick’s since he opened his first restaurant in 2013. Currently, he has 4 restaurants in NYC, one in LA, and one in London.
