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.

World Central Kitchen has been cooking over 800 meals-a-day for evacuees at three different sites.

The nonprofit group founded by celebrity chef Jose Andres in 2010 after a devastating earthquake in Haiti and last year alone, served over 4 million meals to victims of natural disasters.

In addition to the current Hawai‘i operation, it has ongoing operations in Puerto Rico, and in Guatemala, which also had a destructive eruption this month.
