Kogi’s Korean Tacos Not Coming to NYC Anytime Soon
Roy Choi & Lee Anne Wong During Last Month’s Midtown Kogi Invasion
A rumor that had been floating around for a bit was finally confirmed at last night’s Eater panel at the 92YTribeca: Lee Anne Wong is no longer working as the East coast rep for the LA based Kogi BBQ Truck. According to the former Top Chef contestant “Kogi will be focusing on their West Coast operations” while she moves on to “some very exciting projects down the line.”
So does this mean Kogi in NYC is dead? Kogi’s Chef Roy Choi had this to say: “I love NYC! We are doing our best but my energies right now are trying to keep the food fresh to def! 55th and Lex….it will go down in history :)” History? That doesn’t sound too promising.
Could Baja Fresh be our best chance of getting “Kogi” to NYC?
