Tucked away in a Roads & Kingdoms piece on the troubled times at Gywnnett St. is a rumor that Justin Hilbert, the restaurant's opening chef and one of New York's top 11 free agents, is opening his own restaurant in the West Village soon. The news comes from Owen Clark, who took over from Hilbert at Gywnnett St. last year, and has now left the restaurant himself in the wake of owner Carl McCoy's arrest on drug charges.
