    The very first Macy’s Culinary Council Food Truck coming to Eastern Market in DC on July 29th.  Local celebrity Chef

    Marcus Samuelsson will be passing out one of his signature dishes, for FREE, and mingling with the crowd.  I would

    recommend arriving early, they have a limited amount of food which usually runs out in about 2 hours.

    The Macy’s Culinary Council Chefs will be popping up all over the country in the Macy’s Chef’s A-Go-Go Food Truck.  I think your readers should be the first to hear about this fun, family culinary engagement.

    It’s also for a good cause: 

    While the chef’s dishes are free, guests can support a good cause by donating to Feeding America ®, the nation’s largest domestic hunger relief organization. For every $1 donated, Feeding America can help provide seven meals to those in need on behalf of local food banks.

    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…

    Where:

    Macy’s Metro Center 
Home Store, Lower Level
    1201 G St NW 
(between N 12th St & N 13th St)
    Washington, DC 20005

    When:

    Thursday, April 29, 6PM

    RSVP:

    Because seating is limited, reservations are required. 
To RSVP please call 1-888-MACYSNY
