Zócalo and KCRW have launched “My Favorite Movie,” a series of quarterly events where prominent Angelenos screen and talk about their favorite films at the Million Dollar Theatre in downtown L.A.
Kicking things off is chef and restaurateur Roy Choi, author of the memoir L.A. Son and the man behind the Kogi Korean BBQ phenomenon. Choi has chosen to screen Chef, which is the story of a high-end restaurant chef who leaves the world of fine dining to hit the road in a food truck. After the screening, Choi, who served as co-producer and technical consultant on Chef, sits down with KCRW’s Evan Kleiman to discuss the film.
For the occasion, the following Grand Central Market vendors will be open until 7 pm for you to get pre-screening dinner, drinks and snacks: Belcampo Meat Co., Bento Ya, Berlin Currywurst, Better Booch, DTLA Cheese, Horse Thief BBQ, La Huerta, Lupita’s Seafood, Olio GCM Wood Fired Pizzeria, Roast To Go, Sarita’s Pupuseria, Sticky Rice.
Free; Thursday, 7 pm; The Million Dollar Theatre, 307 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90013
