The typical celebrity chef food show follows a familiar formula: chef visits a new locale each week, shepherded by a local to restaurants where they eat mouthwatering dishes over a good conversation.
Los Angeles chef Roy Choi wanted to do something different with his show “Broken Bread.”
“People love looking at food on TV, and so it’s kind of weirdly disguised as a food show,” Choi said. Each episode, Choi interviews people at nonprofit organizations, restaurateurs and other leaders in the community who are tackling social justice issues such as gentrification, cultural erasure and food deserts — and yes, with a healthy side serving of foodie glamour shots.
