I’ve had Samuelsson’s food before – at Aquavit (in NYC). Good stuff.  Here is info on his free event this week.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson is coming your way this Thursday to do a free cooking demo at Macy’s. You may have seen Marcus on Bravo as a contestant on the new season of Top Chef Masters. This event will be a fun (and free) opportunity to see him in person!

Marcus was born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden and his international background continues to influence his cooking. When he arrived in the U.S., Marcus made his mark at restaurants such as Aquavit.  His impressive list of awards and accolades includes being named Best Chef: New York City by the James Beard Foundation in 2003.

Since he’s known for his global sensibilities and ability to seamlessly combine cultural influences in his cooking, it’s no surprise that Marcus was tapped to be guest chef at Barack Obama’s first state dinner.

Marcus will be in D.C. this Thursday for a free cooking demo at Macy’s Metro Center.  After the demo, he’ll sign copies of his cookbook which will be available for purchase at the event.

Marcus will be at Macy’s as a member of the Macy’s Culinary Council. Here are the details…
