April 29 – May 3

I won’t give up

Words

I got that confidence and determination

My name in the stars is my motivation

To be that zoologist that I wanna be

Stad in front of a crowd

Let them hear me sing

I wont give up

I just wont quit

I’ll perservere

Work hard for it

I’ll be a dancer, writer

Be a physicist

Study real hard

I got all the courage

I’ll be an actor a baller

An aerialist

I keep getting better

Cause I practice

Street Food Remix

Chef Roy Choi calls himself a “street cook.”
He wants outsiders, low-riders,
kids, teens, shufflers and skateboarders,
to have food cooked with care, with love,
with sohn maash.

“Sohn maash” is the flavors in our fingertips. 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?
