NEW YORK CITY – “Half us were high school drop outs. We were people of color. We were in the food industry. Statistically we should have failed.”
This man is Los Angeles’ local expert on backyard boogie and BBQ. Johneric Concordia, founder of The Park’s Finest in Downtown LA, fuses Filipino flavor and Southern soul to create pure ecstasy on a plate. But this family business is about more than just mouthwatering meatastic menus, The Park’s Finest uses food as a unifying force to connect, nourish, and engage the community. And that’s where the magic lies.
