"Food has given me connection and having reliable, long-lasting cookware is integral to creating inspired meals and memories with friends and family," explained Samuelsson. "The culinary industry is constantly evolving, yet All-Clad has remained consistent for 50 plus years in my kitchen and in so many others. I'm honored to partner with All-Clad to continue that legacy and help others build bonds through food."

When Samuelsson isn't in the kitchen, he dedicates his time as founder to the Marcus Samuelsson Group, a Harlem-based company committed to creating and providing culinary experiences, community support and entertainment that celebrates food, music, culture and art through media and experimental events.

All-Clad is proud to support the professional and personal achievements of Samuelsson and all its Chef Ambassadors.
