Macy's Culinary Council Chef Marcus Samuelsson - 2011

After dining at Macy's "Kitchen Signature", I went over to the store's kitchen department, located right next to the restaurant, where Chef Marcus Samuelsson's cooking demonstration would be. Chef Marcus prepares American cuisines with influences from Sweden and Ethiopia.


I saw Chef Marcus put on another cooking demonstration for the Buick Regal Discovery Tour in December 2010. I enjoyed the event at that time, and as usual, he put on a wonderful demo and was happy to take photos with his fans afterwards. He was always friendly and professional in real life.

During this recent demonstration, everyone in the audience got to taste a sample of what he prepared. He prepared for us "ripped pork", "boiled fingerling potatoes with roe vinaigrette" and "pickled cabbage". I didn't care much for the pickled cabbage, but enjoyed the other items that were prepared for us.
