Harvey
Lo emigrated from Hong Kong in 1973. The very congenial restaurant
owner told the story of arriving on Tuesday and going to work
on Thursday. His ninety hour work weeks allowed him little time
for extracurricular activities, but as the owner of “The
Yummy House” he was one of several Windsor chefs who were
conscripted by Windsor’s Board of Education to host cooking
classes and give away their most valued trade secrets at high
schools in the evenings. Often questioned by his patrons on
how to prepare dishes and when one regular customer asked, “Why
not start a cooking class?” Harvey thought this to be
an excellent way to get to know the people he served in his
restaurant. Harvey began teaching cooking in his restaurant
kitchen at 9a.m. on Sunday mornings. He kept his class size
small and course cost reasonable. He related, “It was
not unusual for me to receive calls from my students asking
for preparation help”. Assisting his patrons and students
was a great joy to him.
