Happy New Year, everyone! ✨ There’s no better way to kick off 2026 than being back in Addis Ababa. 🇪🇹 I’m here with @chefodigowa and our incredible team at @MarcusAddisAbaba , diving deep into the kitchen and cooking up some soulful new flavors for the year ahead. Addis always fuels my creativity and reminds me of the power of community. Grateful for my roots and so excited for what’s to come. Wishing you all a year of health, joy, and delicious moments. Cheers to 2026! 🥂🙏🏾

In the kitchen, adaptability is everything. Things change fast, plans fall apart, and the best chefs know how to adjust without losing their point of view. This week on #24in24, the remaining chefs are pushed to the limit with challenges that test both creativity and collaboration. I joined @chefsymon and @choibites to judge the chefs’ best noodle dishes before @chefbrookew and @ayesha_rare raise the stakes even higher. Premiering Sunday, May 17 at 8PM on @FoodNetwork ! 🍜

We are so excited to welcome Chef Atsushi Kono of @yakitorikono to @havandmar for a special collaboration dinner blending Swedish, Ethiopian, and Japanese cooking through the art of live fire grilling. Honored to cook alongside an exceptional chef like @ats223 (recently named one of New York City’s best restaurants by The New York Times!), to explore how fire connects so many food traditions around the world. Comment KONO to reserve your table now!

There’s nothing better than seeing kids experience the joy of the game together. Earlier this month, we brought a group of local young soccer players out to cheer on @NYCFC against @DCUnited at Citi Field for a really special day. From the suite life to burgers, superhero swag, and nonstop excitement in the stands, the energy was incredible from start to finish. Big thanks to our partners at @NYCFC for helping create such a memorable experience for these young athletes and their families. Community always wins.

Never met a food and wine festival I didn’t love, but Puerto Rico makes it pretty hard to beat. From beachside parties to incredible meals and late nights with chefs and friends, the @PRWineandFoodFest brought the energy all weekend long. Great wine, amazing talent, beautiful weather, and a whole lot of flavor! Big thanks to the 1919 culinary team at @condadovanderbilt led by @chefciaranelliott , and my MSRG teammates, @chefanthonyj and @gregoripena11 . Already looking forward to the next one!

Guys, #ChoppedCastaways is WILD. Out on a remote island with no fancy kitchen, no shortcuts, and no room for excuses. Just fire, instinct, survival, and some seriously talented chefs. Watching these chefs adapt, compete, and cook under pressure in the elements took everything to another level. Trust me, you’ve never seen a cooking competition like this before. Premiering TONIGHT on @FoodNetwork . Who’s watching? 🌴🔥 #Chopped
