Yes, Chef: A Memoir with Marcus Samuelsson

At this Tenement Museum talk, chef Marcus Samuelsson—the man behind Harlem hotspot Red Rooster and recently opened basement lounge Ginny's Supper Club—recalls his culinary journey as told in Yes, Chef: A Memoir. Hear about the toque's memories of cooking roasted chicken with his adoptive Swedish grandmother, battling tuberculosis as a child in his native Ethiopia and—while working at Aquavit—becoming the youngest chef to be awarded a three-star rating by the New York Times. A Q&A and book-signing will follow the hour-long presentation; call 212-431-0233, ext 212 to reserve a spot, or to prepurchase a copy of the new tome ($27), which guarantees you two seats at the event.
