Fifty years ago, Lawrence Chu opened a small eatery in a converted laundromat in Los Altos, offering Chinese takeout. The restaurant evolved into the renowned Chef Chu’s, which now serves more than 500 customers daily, including celebrities, heads of state, dignitaries and local sports heroes, and serves to-go meals for 500 more.
The acclaimed chef attributes a large part of his success to the community, and in the spirit of gratitude, he plans to give back through a fundraising banquet Feb. 9, with all proceeds benefiting the Los Altos History Museum.
