In this episode of Chinese Food Fight Club, we talk with fishmonger Liwei Liao, the dry-aged fish king of Los Angeles. Born in Taiwan and raised in Bayside, Queens, Liao studied engineering at UCLA before launching The Boba Truck at the height of the social-media-food-truck convergence in 2008. In 2018, Liao opened The Joint, a sustainable seafood market and coffee shop in Sherman Oaks where his motto is #freshisboring. Here, Liao tells us why he's a champion of dry aged fish, and talks about his childhood growing up in Queens, New York.
