A review by satyridae
L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food by Roy Choi, Tien Nguyen, Natasha Phan

3.0

Read at the behest of my father. I found the memoir part to be absorbing and kinda cute. This kid! He's adorable, except when he's in the gutter, all methed up. But then he's in cooking school, and it's much better. He's profane and hip and hilarious.

The recipes, though, didn't do much for me. Most of them would kill me, and many of the rest were too meaty/greasy/fried. A few sounded delicious, though, and I'm going to try them out. Or not, since the book is already a week overdue.
