you think dust and famine and despair so awful, you frankly don't want to even think about it anymore. but take a look. addis ababa, capital city of ethiopia. a cool, high altitude, urban center that will both confirm and confound expectations. fueled largely by direct foreign investment and a returning ethiopian diaspora eager to be part of the new growth, things are changing in addis. it's one of the fastest growing economies in the world. it's not the first time the place has gone through a growth spurt. in the 1950s, emperor haile selassie, known as "the king of kings," embarked on a

similar program of massive public works. this was supposed to be the legacy of ethiopia. the future. but the next time ethiopia found itself in the headlines, it was for this. and for many of us, that was the end of the story. so i'm looking forward to this week. >> marcus: i can't wait to show you ethiopia. >> anthony: i've been waiting for you. i mean, i'll tell you right now -- >> marcus: you couldn't have picked a better time because we have old ethiopia right here, and we also have new ethiopia right here, and, that's like, that combo -- it's gonna be so cool. >> anthony: marcus samuelsson. maybe you know him from such shows as -- a lot of them. or his many restaurants, his best-selling memoir, his status as america's most recognizable black chef. but marcus isn't african-american. he's swedish-american or ethiopian-swedish-american or, look, it's complicated. what is true to say is that

of, i've made my whole life about food. my sort of structure and pragmatism comes from being raised in sweden. and my sort of vibrancy and warmth to cooking and feel-based food that i love comes definitely from here. >> anthony: weirdly enough, the single aspect of ethiopian culture most westerners do know a little about is ethiopian food. so, maybe you've had this. oh, wow. now -- now that -- that looks good. that, that is exciting. what is it? >> maya: this is typical ethiopian vegetarian. they make it really nice. >> anthony: at kategna
