Judy Joo Instagram – Overjoyed to share my conversation in @usweekly with the remarkable Marcus Samuelsson @MarcusCooks. We dived deep into the essence of his cultural heritage at Hav & Mar, inspirations, and the memorable journey to opening his dream restaurant in Ethiopia. I’m a total carb queen, and the bread basket alone is worth the trip to @havandmar where the talented and beautiful Fariyal Abdullahi @fariyalabdul is at the helm. Their crispy injera bread is truly addictive, and their biscuits made from Ethiopian grain teff is the perfect texture to let a generous smear of salted butter melt into. Teff is an ancient grain– so it is good for you too! Marcus has been part of NYC’s culinary scene for as long as I can remember. We first met when he volunteered to teach a class at Harvest Time in Harlem, a Slow Food in Schools project that I was running. And, we just finished filming a new project– so stay tuned for more details on that! Marcus is not only incredibly gifted, but also a true pleasure to hang out with– so fun, a ton of laughs, and full of kindness. And, as for what is New York’s best late night snack – Marcus’ vote goes to pizza! 🍕 Thank you @usweekly for capturing this conversation and to the fabulous team behind the scenes.
