Marcus always shades light on Ethiopia's unique cuisine & rich history whenever he gets the chance 🙇♂️. Dedicating a short segment on Eritrea was also appropriate & beautiful. Big up all my Ethiopians in D.C
💚💚❤️
I haven’t had Ethiopian food for years. It’s really so unique. My wife and I used to have dinner parties at a local Ethiopian restaurant. It’s so intimate eating with people in this manner.
I've taken people visiting from out of town (out of country!) to Dukem and they've loved it. I have enjoyed getting to visit no fewer than five different Ethiopian restaurants in this area, and I love it so much! This is one of the highlights of living in the DC area.
Thank you so much for your love to your origin#proud of you 🙏💚💛❤️
Thank you so much for this episode, I am definitely going to try the Ethiopian restaurants here in Chicago. I see the Ethiopian influence on Asian culture by the main dish being shared and eating with your right hand.
