"Roy Choi sits at the crossroads of just about every important issue involving food in the twenty-first century. As he goes, many will follow." â??Anthony Bourdain

From the maverick chef the New Yorker called "The David Chang of L.A." and founder of the wildly popular Kogi taco trucks, comes a cookbook that's as inventive, creative, and border-crossing as the city to which it pays homage: Los Angeles.

Los Angeles: A patchwork megalopolis defined by its unlikely cultural collisions; the city that raised and shaped Roy Choi, the boundary-breaking chef who decided to leave behind fine dining to feed the city he lovedâ??and, with the creation of the Korean taco, reinvented street food along the way.

Abounding with both the food and the stories that gave rise to Choi's inspired cooking, L.A. Son takes us through the neighborhoods and streets most tourists never see, from the hidden casinos where gamblers slurp fragrant bowls of pho to Downtown's Jewelry District, where a ten-year-old Choi wolfed down Jewish deli classics between diamond deliveries; from the kitchen of his parents' Korean restaurant and his mother's pungent kimchi to the boulevards of East L.A. and the best taquerias in the country, to, at last, the curbside view from one of his emblematic Kogi taco trucks, where people from all walks of life line up for a revolutionary meal.

Filled with over 85 inspired recipes that meld the overlapping traditions and flavors of L.A.â??including Korean fried chicken, tempura potato pancakes, homemade chorizo, and Kimchi and Pork Belly Stuffed Pupusasâ??L.A. Son embodies the sense of invention, resourcefulness, and hybrid attitude of the city from which it takes its name, as it tells the transporting, unlikely story of how a Korean American kid went from lowriding in the streets of L.A. to becoming an acclaime… (plus d'informations)

Interesting book with some recipes I'd like to try. Sprinkled with swear words.. ( )

One day, I'm going to actually cook recipes from cookbooks instead of just reading them straight.

Otherwise, a great blend of autobiography and recipes thematically relevant to the chapter. I picked this up at the library as part of my unofficial May-is-Asian-American-Pacific-Islander-Heritage-Month picks, but read it in a mad one-day dash on its due date. I'd actually forgotten Choi is the co-founder of the Kogi BBQ truck until around page 300 when he talks about it- surprisingly doesn't go into it that much. The biographical sections are good, though, and are a good parallel to the other "bad boy azn" chef [a:Eddie Huang|1709433|Eddie Huang|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1359702116p2/1709433.jpg] in going on a "rotten banana" path astray for a while before coming back to food.

Note: I read the physical version & am only just noticing that I accidentally picked the ebook version on Goodreads, whoops. ( )
