LOS ANGELES — After launching food trucks, restaurants, and social justice efforts, chef Roy Choi is about to premiere a six-part series,"Broken Bread," that looks at the ways food can be an agent of change. The series debuts May 15 on PBS channel KCET in Southern California and will stream on Tastemade TV's streaming platform.
Why do a show on food justice instead of cooking or travel?"They're my kindred spirits," Choi says of the people he interviews, which include Father Greg Boyle of Homeboy Industries and urban gardener Ron Finley."I can't be with them every day on the ground. My contribution to the movement is to shine a light on them."
"Even if it just makes you think, the show will have have done something," says Choi, who hopes viewers will also be inspired to be part of finding solutions. Chef Roy Choi shakes hands with former Cleveland Browns fullback Jim Brown, who helped orchestrate a 1992 truce between rival street gangs in Watts, during Locol's grand opening.Choi admits that it was crushing when one of the organizations he spotlighted, L.A. Kitchen, closed due to funding issues while"Broken Bread" was being filmed."It devastated me," he said.
