Kogi Dogs★

In 2018, Food & Wine named this recipe one of our 40 best: Roy Choi was the first chef without a brick-and-mortar restaurant ever named a F&W Best New Chef. His mission to bring great food to the streets via his Kogi Korean BBQ food truck represented a seismic shift in the way food was delivered and consumed around America. A Culinary Institute of America grad and former cook at Le Bernardin, his culinary pedigree was hard-core, but the forward-thinking chef opted for a more unconventional path. Soon after Kogi’s first truck tweeted its stops, lines were endless, and these smoky Kogi dogs, piled high with cabbage, kimchi, and cheddar, became a cult favorite. A drizzle of Sriracha finishes them off — pair them with a refreshing Mexican lager beer, if desired.
