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 loved--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.--including Korean fried chicken, tempura potato pancakes,
homemade chorizo, and Kimchi and Pork Belly Stuffed Pupusas--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 acclaimed chef.
