Known for revolutionizing fast food with his Kogi trucks, Chef Roy Choi wins again with his latest enterprise, A-Frame. Angelino Magazine will give the title of “Best New Restaurant” to A-Frame at its 9th Annual Restaurant Awards. Roy Choi will receive his award at this Sunday’s Live & Dine LA Event, where he will also be serving up samples from A-Frame’s menu.
Subtitled a “Modern Picnic,” A-Frame uses communal seating, and customers are expected to share with each other their Korean-styled barbecue lamb chops, Japanese-flavored furikake kettle corn, and Peruvian-inspired crispy beer can chicken.
Though the kitchen closes at midnight, customers can still enjoy A-Frame’s full bar and cocktail menu until one-thirty in the morning. With the exception of the Alibi Room (of which Roy Choi acts as a consultant), A-Frame is reportedly the only restaurant that serves Hite beer outside of L.A.’s Koreatown.
A-Frame can be considered Roy Choi’s first actual restaurant that doesn’t operate on wheels, and with this award, the restaurant looks like it’s here to stay.
