Live from our Storyteller Spotlight series, Man One discussed and shared insights from his book Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix! 📖

"That’s what the book is about, spreading the love of food and art and culture in Los Angeles, right?"

Man One shared that his culture is woven into his murals, paintings, and stories through color choices and themes, often in subtle ways. As a first-generation American, he draws on his lived experiences to explore topics meaningful to immigrant communities.

Mrs. Piccolo’s class asked how Man One chose his name. He shared that it began on long bus rides, when he first tried graffiti and was inspired by the group Mantronix. He shortened “Mantronix” to “MAN” for speed, and added the “1” to show he was the original. The name stuck and became his signature!
