In the fifth installment of “The United Tastes of America,” which digs into downtown’s diverse culinary scene, Samuelsson stops by Maison Passerelle at Printemps (1 Wall St.), which showcases the flavors of Haiti and the French-colonized African diaspora. Three-time James Beard award-winning chef Gregory Gourdet, who is himself of Haitian descent, discusses some of the celebrated restaurant’s standout dishes, including the grouper and the dry-aged duck, and why it was so important to highlight oft-overlooked cuisines inside the signature French department store.
