"Marcus Samuelsson’s Marcus B & P has been open a little over a year northwest of downtown Newark, and has established quite a following. It’s not a bad walk (or a cheap cab ride) from the PATH station to the comfortable restaurant that seems decades older than its actual age. The giant fried chicken platter is a tour de force, and even the cornbread, with its giant schmear of butter on the side, is praiseworthy. But the chef doesn’t stick to soul food. The dorowat rigatoni adapts the Ethiopian national dish, while a jerk cauliflower, hemmed in with lentils, provides a new take on a Jamaican dish." - Eater Staff
