Marcus Samuelsson is the consummate celebrity chef. Whether it’s from his daring sartorial choices while hosting the short-lived ABC cooking competition The Taste, his charming appearance on Top Chef Masters, or as the author of the intimate memoirYes, Chef, Samuelsson is well known in the food world. D.C. is one of seven cities that he’s visiting to promote his latest work, The Red Rooster Cookbook: The Story of Food and Hustle in Harlem. Not only does he let amateur chefs in on his coveted restaurant recipes like his brown butter biscuits and Ethiopian spice-crusted lamb, but the cookbook also provides vibrant photos and information about Harlem’s rich history, which he honors in his restaurant—from the menu to the speakeasy style jazz club in the basement.
