When “Chopped: All Stars” came to a close on Sunday night, Marcus Samuelsson was the last chef standing.
The chef/owner of Harlem hotspots Red Rooster and Ginny’s Supper Club on Lenox Ave. beat out Michael Symon, Penny Davidi and Jeffrey Saad to take home the title, as well as $50,000 for C-CAP, his charity of choice.
“It proved to be a really tough competition with some very talented chefs battling for the win, so I was incredibly happy to come out on top,” says Samuelsson, who also won “Top Chef Masters” in 2010.
