[...] Marcus Samuelsson In a rare gesture by the White House, chef Marcus Samuelsson was invited to prepare the Obamas’ first State Dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. First Lady Michelle Obama called Marcus “one of the finest chefs in the country.” And as Politico reported: “The importance was not lost on Samuelsson. Waking up on Wednesday morning, after about three hours of sleep, he had not yet come down from his high. ‘It was the biggest dinner I cooked in my life — in terms of the occasion,’ said the chef, born in Ethiopia, raised by a Swedish couple in Sweden and now a naturalized American.” We extend our congratulations and wish Marcus Samuelsson continued success!

Priceless!! Ethiopian-born, Swedish raised New Yorker. Who else could be as American as Marcus. Great choice and good job!!

Unbelievable how the revered U.S. Secret Service dropped the ball on the party crashers. I am mean, I am glad that The President, The first Lady and the vice president, and the Prime Minster of India are sound and safe. Can you imagine the Nightmare?

Marcus, why did not you use “Berbere”? To ad flavor and spiced it up a bit

Congratulations my brother. I rise my glass to you! This is a great honor and mark of a wonderful accomplishment for you and all that you represent.

And wow, what an elegant dress by an Indian-American designer. It speaks a great deal about First Lady Michelle Obama who also happens to be the gardener where part of the food came from. Fabilous, fabulous!!
