Kogi changed what a generation eats, introducing people to fermentation and different vegetables and flavors.
Roy Choi
I've lived through a lot of different neighborhoods.
Roy Choi
I know what it's like to be a teenager in Orange County. I know what it's like to be a kid in L.A. I know what it's like to not have any money and have your lights turned off. I know what it's like to live in a house with five rooms.
Roy Choi
I was a latchkey kid, from 4 or 5 years old.
Roy Choi
My parents worked and sold and hustled; they were gone from the morning, and I pretty much took care of myself. But in a Korean household, you're always eating with your family no matter what, and you're always cooking. And our food is not one you can just open a package and eat right away; a lot of our food takes time to develop.
Roy Choi
Yes, a business should thrive, but it shouldn't thrive at the expense of everyone else losing.
Roy Choi
People think that being Korean is all one thing.
Roy Choi
Even as a kid I wasn't, like, a natural entertainer, where I would gather everyone around me and then sing or something at family parties.
Roy Choi
I'm a quiet person in real life.
Roy Choi
I have a tendency to trail off in conversations. I don't look up at people sometimes when I talk or cook, and those are all pretty bad no-no's being in front of the camera.
Roy Choi
A lot of my friend's mothers and parents worked at Paramount Studios, so I would always go. I met the Fonz when I was really young, like four or five years old. I was always around people in entertainment all the time throughout my whole life.
Roy Choi
When Kogi started, I was dead broke, selling tacos on the street just to survive.
Roy Choi
Being a cook, there's always pressure - not for your ego but for people to love your food.
Roy Choi
I don't have a boss. I don't answer to anybody. I do everything that I want to do out of the purity of making people happy.
Roy Choi
You have to believe in something, and you have to believe in the things that you feel and find value in those things, and not be swayed all the time. Maybe you're gonna get swayed 90% of the time, to keep those things submerged, but you can't distrust yourself 100% of the time.
Roy Choi
I go by 'Papi' on the streets.
Roy Choi
What if every high-caliber chef told our investors that for every fancy restaurant we build, it would be a requirement to build one in the hood as well?
Roy Choi
I dream like a shaman.
Roy Choi
I'll never be able to outlive Kogi. Kogi is a beast.
Roy Choi
I don't know if I'll ever be as good as I was when I started Kogi, but I strive for that.
Roy Choi
