    In 2008, Roy Choi was fired from his big restaurant job and ready to give up—then he started Kogi.

Plus, we hunt for clams, eels and anchovies with sea forager Kirk Lombard; and Chris and Sara Moulton take your calls, explaining what constitutes the middle rack of the oven, how to make the perfect toum, and much more.
