Justin Timberlake has been a boy band member, a solo artist, an actor and one of the hottest bachelors in Hollywood.

Now the superstar is putting on another hat - a chef's hat. Justin and childhood friend Trace Ayala are opening a restaurant together in New York City.

The busy musician will be serving his family's original recipes to patrons at "Southern Hospitality", a Memphis-style eatery. The new restaurant follows a celebrity trend, which involves Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Lopez's desire to cook for the masses.

While Justin won't personally be frying the chicken for the Second Avenue hangout, he has helped design it. The interior is said to resemble Memphis flea markets.

The "Sexy Back" singer was raised in Tennessee before joining N*Sync.
