Special Announcement Quick-Ep: Fundraiser for Chef Shirley Chung
from Infatu Asian Podcast · host InfatuAsian Podcast
Chef Shirley Chung is going through treatment for tongue cancer. Her options were to amputate her tongue or go through a more risky and less proven route of treating it with aggressive radiation and chemo. Being a media star and chef, losing her tongue was not an acceptable option even if it meant more risk. Shirley and her husband Jimmy ran her restaurant together but they had to close shop while Shirley undergoes treatment. My sister Caryl and their good friend Andy Wang (the three of them make up the infamous Dumpling Mafia), are doing what they do best, putting on a culinary event, but this time to help their good friend. So many great chefs and organizations are coming out to support Shirley. It takes place on Sunday, October 27th, 2024. See my bio for a link to get tickets. If you're not in the area but would still like to help out, there's an account set up that will get your donations to Shirley. It's @dumplingmafiaHQ on PayPal. Please give in whatever way you can, even if it's just sending Shirley your positive healing vibes!
