A fun time! I felt like a citizen of the world while listening to this. Would love to meet Mr. Samuelsson in person. He seems like a blast.

Wouldn’t call this an audiobook but it was definitely a great listen!
Loved hearing from Dr. Jessica B. Harris!

An interesting, almost podcast-y experience. A deep dive into the history, music, fashion and food of Harlem. Samuelsson had a lot of unique perspective as an immigrant, and I liked all the interviews and different voices and perspectives he brought in. Inevitably and unfortunately, I found myself just wanting more of everything, especially the historical aspects of the Great Migration, and the ways in which they were discussed didn't satisfy me. But at least it's inspired me to go looking for more information. The recipes all sounded great (and I loved the easy banter and camaraderie he had with all his co-hosts) and I miiiiight see myself trying a couple.

Not really an audiobook. It's really more like a podcast with interviews and general conversation with celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson. Enjoyable but not really very deep.

I grabbed this on Audible because I loved "Yes Chef," and I was not disappointed! This is a feast for the heart, soul, and intellect. So may layers of culture and history go into every segment--and every
part is told with obvious love for the the neighborhood. My takeaways after listening:
1) I really want short ribs
2) Someday I must sit in on a show at the Apollo
3) Marcus Samuelsson has the best friends and is living his best life. (Is there any person who so joyfully embraces so many people?)

Lots of interesting color and music, but a tad too self-indulgent. Also, I would have liked to actually gotten a PDF of the recipes, having gotten a copy of the Audible work.

This Audible Original was fun, informative, and inspiring. Highly recommended if you are an Audible member.
I had a great experience listening to this, too because it is "seven days at the Red Rooster" so I started listening to it on Monday of this week and finished it on Saturday! Each "chapter" is a day of the week starting on Monday so that helped to enhance my listening experience.

I've always found Harlem an interesting place to learn about so I loved listening to the various stories from the past to the present. Some resonated more than others, but all of them were fun and gives insight to what life Is like there. The cooking parts were a bit weak but I appreciated that there was effort in adding the history of the food and why certain things are being put in. Overall, a really fun book.

An amazing celebration of Harlem! It’s people, the music and the food. I learned so much from the conversations. I already love the Red Rooster but listening to this makes me want to cherish it more and visit more and also introduce it to more people. I also want to share my experiences of Harlem with others as well. Amazing auditory experience!
