LOS ANGELES -- Hometown hero Govind Armstrong is inviting celebrated Harlem chef Marcus Samuelsson to Baldwin Hills to stage a one-night celebration of soulfood classics in honor of Black History month.
Armstrong grew up in Los Angeles and is part Indian, while Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden. The evening's menu reflects their mixed cultural backgrounds with dishes like Ethiopian Tacos with Injera Bread and Tartare, Braised Oxtail with Fried Plantains and Crawfish Beignets with Honey Beet Tartar sauce.
Separately, both chefs made big splashes very early on in their careers. Armstrong famously began apprenticing with Chef Wolfgang Puck at Spago at the age of 13, while Samuelsson is the youngest-ever chef to win a three-star review from the New York Times. Now executive chef of Post & Beam and Republic of Laughter Cafe near West Hollywood, Armstrong has won praise for running an independently-owned restaurant in Baldwin Hills, where cheap chain restaurants rule.
