While the thread’s not a direct line, you can still basically connect all current food truck fervor to one chef, the fusion-focused Roy Choi. His iconic truck Kogi BBQ blended Korean and Mexican flavors so well it caused a worldwide sensation – and he’s continued to create culinary magic, including with his new cookbook. First Light Books invites the famous food-ster to Congress Ave. along with local legend Aaron Franklin. Watch these peers – and friends – chat cuisine, creativity, and cookbookery for $21 per ticket, or add in a signed copy of Choi’s book for a total $53. – James Scott
