Marcus Samuelsson är en känd och prisbelönad stjärnkock i USA, med rötter i Etiopien och uppväxt i Sverige. Han blev först uppmärksammad som kökschef i New York, där han vid 24 års ålder blev den yngsta kocken att få en trestjärnig recension från The New York Times. Senare öppnade han den framstående restaurangen Red Rooster i Harlem, som har blivit en central del av områdets matkultur. Samuelsson har också medverkat i flera TV-program, inklusive “Top Chef Masters”. Han är också en röst för förändring inom en bransch som länge präglats av strukturell rasism. Trots sina framgångar på några av världens mest prestigefyllda restauranger har han flera gånger vittnat om hur hans hudfärg fått honom att behandlas annorlunda – både i köken och i matsalarna. I sina intervjuer och böcker har Samuelsson berättat om hur han tidigt i karriären blev ifrågasatt, misstänkliggjord och ibland direkt osynliggjord, trots sin kompetens. Han har fått kämpa dubbelt – inte bara för att bevisa sin talang, utan också för att slå sig igenom fördomarna som genomsyrar den just världen. Det har handlat om allt från att inte få chansen att avancera, till att tvingas bära uniformer i köket medan andra vita kockar fick synas utåt som restaurangens ansikte. Men istället för att vända ryggen åt branschen valde Samuelsson att förändra den inifrån.

Han är stjärnkocken som blev stor i New York genom sitt kärleksbrev till Sverige. Men vissa minnen från uppväxten har han aldrig tidigare pratat om. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Nya avsnitt av Söndagsintervjun hittar du här i Sveriges Radios app. Marcus Samuelsson bär på en trippelhet. Han är född i Etiopien, uppvuxen på Västkusten men levt sitt vuxna liv i New York. Livet började minst sagt dramatiskt och det är en serie tillfälligheter som räddar hans liv och ger honom möjligheten att bli den han blev. Frågan om adoption är aktuell och omdiskuterad, även politiskt då den förra regeringen tillsatte en adoptionskommission, som senast den 1 mars 2025 ska presentera sina slutsatser. Enligt Expressen tänker adoptionskommissionen föreslå ett förbud mot internationella adoptioner, enligt ett utkast som tidningen tagit del av. Regeringens särskilda utredare, Anna Singer, har hänvisat till att utkastet är ett arbetsmaterial. Frågan är oavsett svår och komplex. Hur ser Marcus Samuelsson på den, utifrån sina erfarenheter? ”En svår tid att prata om” Efter gymnasiet lämnade Marcus Samuelsson för att satsa allt på kockyrket, och hamnade så småningom i New York, USA, där han blivit kvar. Han har utsetts till New Yorks bästa kock, lagat mat åt flera amerikanska presidenter och driver flera framgångsrika restauranger världen över. Sitt inflytande använder han också till att ge plats åt underrepresenterade grupper i yrket. Men framgångarna i den stora världen har skett till priset av flera brustna relationer i det privata. I den här Söndagsintervjun berättar han om den krocken, om rasismen han mötte under uppväxten och om orsaken till att han lämnade Sverige som ung vuxen. En orsak han länge dragit sig för att berätta och som utgör ett stort trauma ännu idag, 30 år senare. Programledare: Martin Wicklin Producent: Filip Bohm Kontakt: sondagsintervjun@sr.se

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer interviewed Chef Marcus Samuelsson. When you hear someone utter the words “Culinary History of America”, the phrase “Black Excellence” is not the first thing that comes to mind. While Black cooks have played a major role in shaping the landscape of America’s culinary culture, their history and accomplishments continue to be told in the dark, underrecognized by the wider world. Well, here to shed some light on this hidden history is Red Rooster’s very own Head Chef, Chef Marcus Samuelsson, through his book, The Rise: Black Cooks and the Soul of American Food: A Cookbook . Make sure to bring your good eating pants and your academia caps to this episode of Money Making Conversations Master Class as we do a deep dive into the culinary history of America and the role that the African diaspora played in shaping it. The James Beard award-winning chef says his flagship restaurant, Red Rooster, became his "haven" during the height of pandemic. Working with José Andrés' World Central Kitchen organization, Samuelsson converted the restaurant to a community kitchen. Over the course of six months, Red Rooster served more than 200,000 meals to first responders and others in need. "It was a place for me when our world was so ripped apart and no one knew what to do," he says. Samuelsson says feeding the community during the pandemic also changed the way he thought about his industry. "The word 'restaurant' actually means to restore your community. And in the worst of times, I think that the restaurant, the hospitality industry really stepped up," he says.

"As people of color, we’ve always dealt with crisis but what has never stopped is our capability to invent. We created some of the best dishes during the roughest times. We created some of the best art. Art, where does hip hop come from? It comes from struggle. We created some of the best music during these times.
