About this episode

Ahoy SAVOR listeners! We’re excited to share part one of a two-part interview featuring the legendary Roy Choi with the excellent podcast Dos Amigos, hosted by Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez.

Choi, a Korean-American chef, transformed the culinary world with his groundbreaking Korean-Mexican taco truck, Kogi BBQ. The amigos and Choi dive into their shared immigrant journeys, including growing up in LA, and how family, struggle, and identity shaped their creative paths. Choi opens up about how Emeril Lagasse helped spark his passion for food and shares the story behind Kogi’s rise from a truck to a movement that redefined LA’s streets. 

“Dos Amigos”  is a comedic and insightful podcast hosted by two friends who’ve journeyed through Hollywood and life together. Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez push through the noise of everyday life and ruminate on a bevy of topics through fun and daring, and occasionally a third amigo joins the mix!

Listen to part two of this interview on Dos Amigos with Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!
