Chef's Five Recs - Marcus Samuelsson
Chef Marcus Samuelsson

Chef Marcus Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, trained in Switzerland and Austria and now calls New York home. While he's cooked all over the world, it's America's roots where Marcus is finding his inspiration for his newest venture, Red Rooster Harlem.

Slated to open up within the next month, the menu at Red Rooster Harlem will feature everything from fried chicken to grilled barbecue pork to a good old burger.

We asked the two-time James Beard Award recipient and Top Chef Masters winner to share his F.E.D. recommendations and a recipe.
