L.A.'s Food Truck King: Up Close and Personal with Roy Choi
Episode description as stored
In 2008, Roy Choi was fired from his big restaurant job and ready to give up—then he started Kogi. He joins us today to discuss the making of his now-legendary food truck, how he taught Jon Favreau to look like a cook, and why there's poetry in lowriding around L.A. Plus, we hunt for clams, eels and anchovies with sea forager Kirk Lombard; and Chris and Sara Moulton take your calls, explaining what constitutes the middle rack of the oven, how to make the perfect toum, and much more. (Originally aired May 30, 2025.)
