Quote by -Roy Choi
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
Being a cook, there's always pressure - not for your ego but for people to love your food.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I don't have many hobbies or talents other than cooking, but I've always been good at figuring out a city.

Quote by -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.
Quote by -Roy Choi
My parents and friends, they're Ph.D.s that worked as custodians, that owned their own businesses, that went bankrupt, that moved seven times, that sent their kid to Harvard, that don't have any money for retirement. Highs and lows of life.
Quote by -Roy Choi
When you never see yourself in the mainstream format, you are stripped of the strength of your identity.

Quote by -Roy Choi
I translate Hawaii as a place where people make sure I'm having a great time, eating terrific food, without any expectation of anything in return. It's a place for people to be happy. It sounds corny, but in Hawaii, it's not; it's uncorny.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I was watching TV and saw the 'Emeril' show, and it spoke to me. I went out and started researching the culinary world and chefs that I knew nothing about. Then I moved to New York and went to culinary school, and everything just fit like a glove. It's been on ever since.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I grew up on Julia Child, Paul Prudhomme, Sara Moulton - and obviously, Emeril's first show had a huge impact on my life.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Roy Choi
There is no typical day, not when there are so many people out there that I care about that can't access good food in their neighborhoods.
Quote by -Roy Choi
Why can I cook for tourists that come and visit L.A. and are so excited to see the Kogi truck? Because I cooked at country clubs and Embassy Suites hotels.

Quote by -Roy Choi
I'm just trying to cook good food, and I'm not afraid to do whatever I need to do to keep the food evolving.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I know a lot of artists and chefs don't talk about this, but sometimes you just don't get to the finish line. That honesty and tenderness is something we're kind of not supposed to express.
Quote by -Roy Choi
I'm in a place where I feel comfortable not being a chef anymore. That's taboo in our industry. 'Chef' is supposed to be the ultimate end of the road.
Quote by -Roy Choi
With public television, they're making things that aren't driven by advertisers. They're one of the only platforms where we can really mine for truth.
