Chef Alan Wong Raises $11,000+

Since April 2011, Chef Alan Wong has donated $11,487.50 to the With Aloha Foundation. This generous donation comes from sales of his Blue Tomato cookbook (Watermark Publishing, 2010), as well as special tasting menus at his two restaurants, Alan Wong’s Honolulu and The Pineapple Room by Alan Wong.
