A lot of times in television, you don't get the opportunity to show real life because we're brainwashed to believe the propaganda that these things aren't marketable, that these things don't sell.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I was a salary man for so many years. I never had to worry about the ins and outs of business or entrepreneurship or funding. I just had to show up and do my job. And then, all of a sudden, I was having to be responsible for my own business.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I knew of the 'Gilmore Girls' - I wasn't a rabid fan, but I watched it sporadically when it was first on.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I make milkshakes at home, but the two best are at at Gulfstream and Disney's Soda Fountain on Hollywood Boulevard.
Quote by -Roy Choi
The things that make Korean food delicious are garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili powder, and chili paste. They make anything delicious.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Food trucks are an essential part of people's days. They are important to the fabric of feeding people, like hotel chefs cooking breakfasts or for weddings.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Animals have been talking to me. And any shaman will say that that's not that weird.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Go out one day and treat yourself. Go out and have the best sushi you can find, or go to the best barista in your city and have just a cup of cappuccino, and tell yourself that you deserve this. I think that is very empowering.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I think that a lot of times, we all want to help each other and be a part of each other's lives. It's just - we don't allow ourselves into each other's lives.
Quote by -Roy Choi
There are certain foods that are somewhat sacred or you're not supposed to mess with. When you do mess with them, it touches a nerve where you have to compare it to the original, and then that thing you're creating has a loosing change right out of the gate.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Kogi changed what a generation eats, introducing people to fermentation and different vegetables and flavors.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Roy Choi
The Korean taco was a phenomenon... It just came out of us. We didn't really think about it.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I don't really have a strategy for social media. I think that's my strategy is that I don't have a strategy.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I've got a lot of experience under my belt, but I still have a very naive and idealistic outlook on life.
Quote by -Roy Choi
A-Frame was a real, pivotal moment because that's where I really got to channel a lot of emotions.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Pico Union is an underrated part of L.A., and not a lot of people go unless you live there.
Quote by -Roy Choi
A-Frame became an expression of creating a place where everyone would feel comfortable, even if you were made to feel uncomfortable in restaurants before. It's a place where I explored my own insecurities as far as being mistreated in restaurants or being given the worst table.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I realized why I can cook for different environments. Because of everything I've gone through growing up. Why can I cook for a Hollywood event without blinking an eye? Because I cooked at the Beverly Hilton and because I moved to Villa Park. Why can I cook for kids on Hollywood Boulevard at night? Because I went through it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Cooking is not a craft to get into for money. The money may come, or it may not. But you must get into it for the craft and the culture.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I don't really do that much office work. I just go to the office, and I'm like Steve Carell in 'The Office.' You know, like, I just go around and like - I don't know what I do in the office. I look at paperwork and act like I'm understanding what's going on there, and I shake my head and put my hand on my chin and like, 'Hmm.'
Quote by -Roy Choi
When you come out of the ocean after surfing all day, loco moco is the best thing you ever tasted.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I'm a little old-school in that I think there's some value in the classics and the steps of achieving a certain profession. If we start slanging the word 'chef' on anybody and everybody who cooks, it takes away a lot.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Public television is a very important thing for our human race, and it allows us the ability to discuss the elephants in the room and understand stories beyond the headlines.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Korean food is primarily based on herbs and shoots and sprouts. There's no pasture land in Korea; we eat like Hobbits.
Quote by -Roy Choi
When you have parents that come from a country that you weren't raised in, you feel this weird sense of familiarity, like you've returned to something.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Straight up, Oreos, sodas, chips, salsa dips, egg white omelets, yogurts, breads, ketchups, mustards, barbecue sauce, frozen pizzas, hot pockets, ice cream, all these things that you eat in your normal life - I think if chefs got more involved in that, then it could be better. Because we're the ones that know flavor.
