Martin, J. B. & Lee, J. L. (2017). Chef Roy Choi and the street food remix. Bellevue,
Washington: Readers to Eaters.
Overview: Meet Chef Roy Choi a Korean chef who grew up in Los Angeles. He
worked in restaurants but became overworked and tired. He wanted to give
back to the community by serving fast food that was healthy and tasty. He started
a food truck called Kogi. He mixed all the different cultures together in his food.
Korean and Latino together to make his Kogi tacos. He is bringing goodness to all
the neighborhoods in Los Angeles that might not have the opportunities to
explore fresh ingredients.
I really like the Korean culture that is shared throughout the story. Also in the index
of the book the author and illustrator share about how they created the book. Man
One is a street artist who was sponsored my Kogi in 2009 for a solo exhibition.
The book also includes links to resources for the reader to check out if they want
to learn more.
