HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – Celebrity chef Katie Chin is returning to Honolulu next month to perform a revamp of her heartfelt one-woman show \u201cHoly Shiitake: A Wok Star is Born,\u201d which blends food, family and finding your voice.
The show will run at the Manoa Valley Theatre on Wednesday, June 3, at 7:30 p.m.
Chin will also showcase her famous dumplings on Sunrise\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s Cooking\u201d segment<\/a> on Sunday, May 31, at 8:45 a.m.
The Los Angeles-based author and cooking show veteran hosted the PBS series \u2018Double Happiness\u2019 with her mother Leeann Chin, who founded a successful Chinese restaurant empire in Minnesota in the 1980s that expanded in the Midwest.
Chin shares her journey as the daughter of a pioneering Chinese American restaurateur and says the show is a tribute to her mother and every immigrant mother. She brought her family\u2019s immigrant story to Hawaii audiences last year with two sold-out shows<\/a>.
The show shares her mother\u2019s journey from Guangzhou, China, to Minnesota, and Chin\u2019s relationship with her over the years, struggling to balance traditional Asian values with being an American-born Chinese girl in the not-so-diverse Midwest.
\u201cI talk about being ashamed of being Chinese American in Minnesota back in the \u201970s and \u201980s. My mom would put barbecue char siu bao in my lunchbox and I was mortified and kids made fun of me and now I have 16 year old twins who are hapa and they are so proud to bring char siu bao to lunch and all their friends just wanna snag them,\u201d Chin said.
Tickets are available at manoavalleytheatre.com<\/a> or by calling the box office at 808-988-6131.
