Marcus Samuelsson: Off Duty
He is one of the Food Network’s biggest stars, but "Chopped" fans see only one dimension of this remarkable chef. Born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, Marcus Samuelsson exploded onto the American scene at New York’s Aquavit, turning Swedish food into a culinary sensation. Samuelsson is the current owner and chef of Red Rooster Harlem and Ginny’s Supper Club, putting his own twist on American comfort food. With his latest book, "Marcus Off Duty: The Food I Cook at Home," he provides the details on how to bring his remarkable cuisine to your kitchen. He is joined in conversation by food writer David Tamarkin.
