Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix | 
“Roy's sauce mixes the five tastes- sweet, sour, bitter, salty, savory-with aromatics.“ This is an example of one of the captions in the book.

I found this book really interesting in the illustrations as well as the way to was written. I think it brought the perfect blend of cultures and how it can creat a beautiful thing. I recommend this book to students who are learning about America and what it means to be American.
pickThis book is a biography of Chef Roy Choi. He is from South Korea and uses his culture and the L.A. culture to 'remix' and combine them together creating a new and yummy combination. This book uses lots of different captions to describe food that is from Chef Roy's culture as well.
“He used mad chef skills to build flavor and cooked with care, with sohn-maash, to create “Los Angeles on a plate.“
Roy Choi's story begins in a Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up surrounded by diverse cultures and flavors. The book emphasizes the importance of food as a bridge between cultures and communities. This book would enrich children's knowledge!
pick“Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix“ by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and June Jo Lee is a picture book that tells the inspiring story of Chef Roy Choi and his innovative approach to food. The book follows Chef Roy's journey from his childhood to becoming a successful chef known for his food truck, Kogi.
pickThis #picturebook biography of Roy Choi, who immigrated to USA from Korea when he was a child, is a pick because the story is inspiring. Choi uses his passion for food as a way to connect diverse communities in Los Angeles. It would have been more appealing, however, with a different illustrator. Man One uses a catchy background layer of graffiti art, perfect for the LA setting, but his computer-created foregrounds are clunky.
I was surprised to learn something new about graffiti art in a children‘s picture book about a chef and the socio-political aspects of his career. Graffiti artist Man One writes, in his illustrator notes: “I thought it would be fun to highlight the cooking poems within blank stickers that are commonly used in street art.” I haven‘t yet seen stickers used on the street, but I will be looking for them in the future.
