perspectives interview

In his forthcoming book The Rise: Black Cooks and
the Soul of American Food, New York-based chef,
author, and TV personality Marcus Samuelsson puts
the spotlight on the recipes and achievements of the
myriad talents shaping contemporary Black cuisine.
Considering the current cultural landscape, the
debut of The Rise, co-authored by Osayi Endolyn,
underscores that a Black chef's journey is nuanced
rather than monolithic. "We know African
Americans have contributed enormously to the
hospitality industry, from farm to dining," he says.
"It's something I've been focusing on for a long time."
Born in Ethiopia, Samuelsson's own career was
forged at the age of 19 when he began working at
the finest restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden, where
he was raised. He went on to become a partner at
Aquavit in New York, win multiple James Beard
Foundation Awards, and cook for the Obamas.
Those accomplishments, he explains, would not
have come to fruition without the early support of his
parents and mentors. That's why today he is co-chair
of Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP),
a nonprofit that provides guidance to underserved
high school students through education and training.
It is another example of Samuelsson's efforts
to democratize the culinary world, as he did with
Red Rooster, the comfort food restaurant he
opened in Harlem in 2010. "I felt there was another
conversation to be had," he says. "Being a Black man,
being an immigrant, I wanted to tell the story of
those two experiences colliding in America."
For the last decade, Samuelsson's shared that
narrative, sprouting Red Rooster locations in
London and Overtown, Miami's historic Black
neighborhood-he also has eponymous restaurants
in Montreal, Bermuda, and Newark, New Jersey plus
concepts in Sweden, Chicago, and California-and
leaving an imprint on communities in need along the
way. During the pandemic, for instance, Samuelsson
and his team have prepared and served more than
120,000 meals as part of World Central Kitchen's
Restaurants for the People program.
As for the current racial reckoning happening
in tandem with the public health crisis, Samuelsson
is encouraging restaurateurs to determine "how you
can create a more equal structure in your restaurant."
He recently participated in an Independent
Restaurant Coalition (IRC) panel with fellow Black
chefs Mashama Bailey and Kwame Onwuachi, and
launched This Moment, his podcast hosted with
Swedish hip-hop artist Jason 'Timbuktu' Diakité,
which discusses systemic injustice. "It's not a Black
issue, it's an American issue that we have to solve
together," he adds.
