In this episode, MHD and cohost Chavonne Taylor speak with chef and entrepreneur Keith Corbin about his journey growing up in Watts, navigating gang and drug culture to becoming a celebrated executive chef and co-owner of Alta Adams in South LA. His modern soul food restaurant was named one of the best new restaurants in the country by both Esquire and Thrillist, and has consistently been on the LA Times best restaurant list. Corbin was formerly Director of Operations for Roy Choi and Daniel Patterson’s Locol restaurant group, and also worked for Patterson at his Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant, Coi in San Francisco. He recently released his autobiography, California Soul: An American Epic of Cooking and Survival, which is available online and in stores now.
