In this visceral memoir, Keith Corbin chronicles his transformation from a youth immersed in the gang culture of 1980s Watts to a celebrated chef. Corbin details his early life in the drug trade, his subsequent years in maximum-security prison, and his eventual rise in the culinary world, where he applied the resourcefulness learned behind bars to his work at the innovative restaurant LocoL. This narrative serves as both a personal history and a testament to the power of food as a tool for survival and social change.
