EVEN WITH GAS PRICES RISING, BOO’S PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS STAYS FOCUSED

Andrew Ahn, the owner of Boo’s Philly Cheesesteaks in EastHollywood/Silver Lake and K-Town, joins us for this special bonus edition of J.T. the L.A. Storyteller Podcast. We discuss the making of Boo’s after his Korean-American parents couldn’t find a cheesesteak sandwich in L.A., how the city’s homelessness and rising gas prices have affected business, and how to define success for one’s self instead of just “playing the part” that’s been popularized.
