Marcus Samuelsson, a renowned Ethiopian-born, Swedish-raised chef, has opened a new restaurant named Marcus DC in NoMa's Morrow hotel, showcasing a seafood-centric menu. Drawing inspiration from the DC dining scene and his Ethiopian heritage, Samuelsson collaborates with local chef Anthony Jones to incorporate regional dishes such as crab with mumbo sauce. Unique menu items include blue corn cornbread and 'Swediopian' dishes. This opening is part of a larger project for Samuelsson at the Morrow hotel, which will also feature a rooftop bar and a cocktail lounge, further reflecting the chef's diverse culinary influences.
Cornbread is always on the menu at Samuelsson's restaurants. Here, it's made with blue corn and served with an aleppo-and-berbere butter.
Coming in the nineties, it was always that place where I was really inspired by the mom and pops, Adams Morgan, and everything that happened.
