Abstract
An interview with Peter Wong, an owner of Toon's Kitchen. Toon's Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant located on 20th Street in Saskatoon (the restaurant is co-owned by Mr. Wong along with two other business partners - Shan Chiu and Jun-Ho Lee). This interview is conducted in English and Chinese. Janet Chow (Jun-Ho Lee's daughter) provides translation and actively participates in the interview. The discussion focuses on the history of Toon's Kitchen, with Mr. Wong also sharing his thoughts on the current state of 20th Street and possible avenues for improvement of the neighbourhood. With 20th Street being the core street of Saskatoon's Chinatown, the story of Toon's Kitchen directly speaks to the history of the city's Chinese immigrants.
