Chef Choy and his staff of cooks joined members of the World Central Kitchen at the former KFC location in Pāhoa (soon to be Luquin’s Restaurant).
Choy mentioned that since this was a former KFC restaurant, he thought it would be appropriate to make a chicken dish, so he made “Chicken-Shoyu” which he delivered to the Pu’uhonua O Puna (community hub) around 4 p.m.
