Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix
Telling the story of Roy Choi, the Korean-American chef who started the food truck movement in L.A., this book perfectly blends street food and street art.
Chef Roy Choi calls himself a "street cook."
He wants outsiders, low-riders,
kids, teens, shufflers and skateboarders,
to have food cooked with care, with love,
with sohn maash.
"Sohn maash" is the flavors in our fingertips. It is the love and cooking talent that Korean mothers and grandmothers mix into their handmade foods. For Chef Roy Choi, food means love. It also means culture, not only of Korea, where he was born, but the many cultures that make up the streets of Los Angeles, where he was raised. So remixing food from the streets, just like good music, and serving it up from a truck is true to L.A. food culture. Won't you join him as he makes good food smiles?
