Food is the New Rock 50th Episode Spectacular w/ Chef Roy Choi

We made it!  This week is the 50th episode of the Food is the New Rock podcast and to celebrate our one year anniversary we though it would be fun to bring back KOGI Chef ROY CHOI to be our guest.  He was on the very first podcast we did w/ Mike D from the Beastie Boys (lovingly referred to episode zero) and we didn’t get to talk to him as much as we would have liked.  So for our big 50th episode we brought him back to talk about the similarties between what he does and what musicians and DJs do.  We also talk hip hop, Kiss, Grateful Dead parking lot egg rolls, and Alice Cooper.  

PLUS to celebrate our one year anniversary we’re giving away a prize pack of signed cook books from past podcast guests.  All you have to do to enter is sign up for our email newsletter.  If you’re already signed up, you’re already entered.  Now on to the show!
