It is the love and cooking talent that Korean mothers and grandmothers mix into their handmade foods. For Chef Roy Choi, food means love. It also means culture, not only of Korea where he was born, but the many cultures that make up the streets of Los Angeles, where he was raised. So remixing food from the streets, just like good music--and serving it up from a truck--is true to L.A. food culture. People smiled and talked as they waited in line. Won't you join him as he makes good food smiles? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJacqueline Briggs Martin, author of the Caldecott Medal winner, \u003ci\u003eSnowflake Bentley\u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eFarmer Will Allen and the Growing Table\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAlice Waters and the Trip to Delicious\u003c\/i\u003e continues her Food Heroes series with \u003ci\u003eChef Roy Choi \u003c\/i\u003e on people who change what and how we eat.
