Itwas a cold Thanksgiving weekend in 2008 when the food truck Kogi BBQ was launched in Los Angeles. Behind its wheel was rebel chef Roy Choi. Choi was trained in fine dining, but restless to feed the city that he loved with a more democratic approach. His Korean tacos were priced at $2 each.

Jennifer 8 Lee: I love Korean food. I grew up a Chinese-American in New York City, and my family ate Korean food for Thanksgiving because that was our special meal. I always couldn't understand why it took so long to break into the mainstream. Why do you think you were able to do that? Were Korean tacos the way that Korean food had to break in? Your parents ran a Korean restaurant, but at that time it was mostly Korean clientele, correct?


The other part is that the Korean meal is not a linear meal; it's not like you start at one point and you end at the other. The Western way of eating is always appetizers, starter salad, main course and then dessert. You start at A and you end at Z.


J8L: What I always thought was interesting about Korean cuisine was, unlike Chinese food and parts of Japanese food, which really catered to the American palate, Korean food held its ground. It was, like you said, what it was meant to be.


RC: The food part is because I believe it was delicious. But nobody can hate on a taco, so that right there was already a vessel that made people look, care and take a chance. That's one, on the food level.


We had a personality behind it. We were out there. We had the same fundamental principles as any chef-driven kitchen. Our attitude, our demeanor and our voice were different, but then when you looked beyond the technology and the voice, you saw organization, cleanliness. You saw hard work ethics and honesty in food. All of that together created a groundswell for sure.


RC: There were many [Korean immigrants] who came through Hawaii and some parts of the mainland in the early 1900s. The main wave came in the late '60s and the early '70s. For that first wave, most of them were educated. But they came, and if you weren't studying science -- even if you had a Ph.D. in history -- nobody was giving you a job. You couldn't get a job. Long story short: We became merchants.


You had all these educated people who ended up owning liquor stores, gas stations, dry cleaners and all that stuff. My parents were the same. They came in, opened a liquor store in K-Town, and then our life kind of built from there. Their whole dream was just to continue to thrive and move up. Many different businesses, from liquor stores to restaurants to jewelry stores -- some failed, some succeeded -- all they cared about was their children.


RC: Before the restaurant, going back to the immigration, it was about the hustle. Any immigrant who comes to this country has their own story of hustle. Because in most cases, you come here with no money in your pocket. It doesn't matter who you were; it matters who you become.


My mom was cooking all the time. She was packing kimchis, banchans and dried fish. Then we put them in cardboard boxes, put them in the trunk, and she would just literally go door to door and sell them, trying to find all the Korean families.


A reputation built from that. When we went to a party, she would bring all the food. My mom is gangster like that. She doesn't ask permission. She'll show up at the party with a trunkload of food, and she wasn't supposed to show up with a trunkload of food. You've got to feel me on that. So she'll show up, the party is going on, and then she'll pull out all this kimchi. It becomes like an Amway sale, but it's kimchi instead. That definitely built her rep, and then it led to a restaurant.


RC: I'm sure they are very proud and happy. I'm happy and proud for them. They are still needling me as parents. "Why don't you do this? Why aren't you in New York?" If I am on Time, "Why aren't you on CNN?" If you are on CNN, "Why aren't you on this?" If you are on public radio, "Why aren't you on that?" At some point, I had to be at peace with all that.


When visiting Rome, my husband and I took a food tour. Our guide was Massimiliano, a welcoming soft blue-eyed gentleman. We later learned that he worked with children with disabilities for a living. A very kind soul, indeed. Mid-way through the tour, we stopped into a little restaurant for some pasta tasting. Amatriciana and carbonara were on the menu. The pea conundrum immediately popped into my head.


Jillian believes her passion for cooking stems from the fact that she was born and raised in Southern California. The best climate conditions for growing the finest produce all year around and the diverse mix of cuisines have always been an inspiration to her. Her love and ability to make people happy by way of delicious food began at an early age and still grows today. She is the proud Chef and Owner of Jillian Fae Chef Services, a personal chef business specializing in private dinner parties, customized menus, and weekly meal preparation.


10:03: Wiley Dufresne of WD-50 and Top Chef Masters is guest judging and has brought some crazy black boxes of mystery. The quickfire challenge is to cook with the mystery ingredient as well as additional mystery ingredients that will be unvieled throughout the challenge. A really great idea and I have to say the past couple of quickfires have been really neat to watch.


10:11: Alex, Amanda end up on the bottom while Kevin and Tiffany end up at the top. Tiffany wins the challenge and the $10K. She now has $20K towards her wedding. Think about how balling her nuptials will be. I wonder if Ed will be invited.


10:16: CIA Challenge: take a classic dish and disguise it. A great challenge but the presentation is kinda hokey. However the opportunity to serve a meal at CIA and the grand prize trip to Paris makes up for it.


10:27: Like OMG We are at the CIA! The chefs know they are in a super-secret location because of all the security screenings they had to go through. Not really anything special when you take in account that just about any government building in the area requires searches and stuff.


10:35: The director receives an ominous note and has to excuse himself from the rest of the meal. Sounds like something is blowing up in the middle east or perhaps it was one of those fake texts that girls arrange to get out of a bad date.


10:51: Angelo and Alex are among the bottom. Angelo is called out on using frozen puff pastry and with that I learn my second tip of winning Top Chef: never ever use frozen puff pastry. Also never ever make dessert.


When Carlos Rivero first met Chef Chris Pavlou, owner and chef of Radius, he saw something special. Carlos saw the potential of a restaurant that could help the Downtown Valpo Restaurants achieve a vision that Carlos helped establish 15 years ago.


The Concerts on the Square brought the downtown restaurants together as friends to create summer events that continued every summer for years. It was the impetus to a downtown that would attract visitors from all over Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland.


Later, the city saw the potential, built Central Park, and began organizing events almost weekly. The Downtown Restaurants then shifted their focus onto other matters: outdoor dining, first Thursday specials, and culinary events.


Carlos felt the downtown was losing its grassroots connection to the restaurants. With many of the original chefs having moved on, Carlos knew the secret to getting the magic back was finding a new generation of restaurant owners that understood the values of great service and extraordinary commitment to the community.


Of course, change is hard for many people, especially in a small city like Valparaiso. Many people objected to granting Radius-Valpo a 3-Way license or Downtown Valpo Restaurant membership. Carlos knew people would love Radius if folks in the community just got to know Pavlou.


Don Quijote is a favorite in the Valparaiso area, but with the popularity of the Mediterranean diet & International cuisine, we recommend setting reservations to assure a wonderful culinary experience.


I suppose it was fun to see the chefs interacting with their family members as they first took a boat out to collect some oysters in Gloucester, then cooked them dinner in a beautiful beach house, and finally as they cooked together. It made me like one contestant much more, and one contestant much less than I had before.
