Sam Choy is a chef, restaurateur, and television personality known as a founding contributor of "Pacific rim cuisine".[1] Choy is an alumni of the Kapiolani Community College Culinary Arts program.[2] One of his first jobs as a chef was at The Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. He would then return to Hawaii, where he eventually opened a chain of restaurants.[3]
In 1991, Choy founded the Poke Festival and Recipe Contest.
In 2004, Choy was awarded the James Beard Foundation Award for Sam Choy's Kaloko in Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Choy has appeared in several Food TV programs, including Ready.. Set... Cook! and Iron Chef America. He is good friends with Emeril Lagasse[4], who has appeared on Choy's TV show Sam Choy's Kitchen on KHNL.
