We actually have visited his shop a few times hoping he'd be there and eventually we got our wish, spotting him in Yorkville grabbing Chinese food.

We interviewed Chef Giada De Laurentiis a few years back and she kept telling us it was mandatory to try Chef Roy Choi's Korean-inspired Tacos at KOGI TAQUERIA and while we've been back a few times, we ...
