Perfect BLEND

This week celebrity chef Judy Joo chats with restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson about life in and out of the kitchen

- 

Renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson has many beloved dishes from his award-winning restaurants, but his current favorite is the Swediopian, a berbere-cured salmon with mustard seed and buckthorn served at his new 5,000-square-foot, seafood-based NYC establishment, Hav & Mar. "It's such a perfect representation of my Swedish and Ethiopian roots, which is the inspiration for the whole restaurant," says Samuelsson. "It's very close to my heart." The restaurateur talks to chef Judy Joo about spicing things up.
