Chef Roy Choi was born in Korea, but his family moved to Los Angeles when he was only 2 years old. His parents owned a restaurant, so he grew up helping out. Eventually he went to cooking school and became a chef. But cooking for rich people in restaurants wasn’t his thing, so he and a friend bought a food truck and sold Korean food filled tacos. He was on a mission to feed hungry people, so he went to the poorer communities and he opened small cafes in worn down neighborhoods, creating jobs making the neighborhood a better place.
What an inspirational story! Bright colored illustrations, graffiti styled definitions (of Korean food and recipe ideas) Another great contribution to diverse books! I wish it came with a sample of Chef Roy Choi’s awesome sauce!
