On this episode of the Kinjaz PodKast we have world renowned chef and restaurateur, Roy Choi.

This K-town native grew up dirt poor, found a passion for cooking and grew the skills needed for success.

Son was a NY Times Bestseller in 2013. He was included in the 2016 TIME 100 Most Influential People in the World list. And in 2017, Locol received the first ever LA Times Restaurant of the Year award. Roy resides in Los Angeles where he is the co-owner, co-founder, and chef of Kogi BBQ, Chego!, A-Frame, Commissary, POT, and Locol."
