Summary
Chef Marcus Samuelsson—celebrated restaurateur, author, and eight-time James Beard Award winner behind Red Rooster, Hav & Mar, and a global portfolio of restaurants—traces the remarkable path that shaped his career. From selling fish with his uncles in Sweden to earning a place in a three-star Michelin kitchen in Switzerland and becoming executive chef at Aquavit at just 23, he reflects on the defining moments that changed everything. Marcus also opens up about the lack of women and people of color in the kitchens where he trained, how that experience became the driving force behind his restaurants, and why creating more opportunities for the next generation matters more than any accolade.
