In this episode of The Will Frederick Podcast, we sit down with Tommy Wong, one of Hammond’s most respected community figures. From his family’s journey from Hong Kong and China to the United States, to building a restaurant empire with the legendary China Inn and investing in real estate across Hammond and Mandeville, Tommy shares the untold story of the Wong family’s legacy.

We talk about the immigrant experience, the rise of the Wong brothers in Louisiana, lessons on entrepreneurship, community giving, and even Tommy’s unexpected appearances in Hollywood films like G.I. Joe and Bill & Ted Face the Music.

If you’re interested in Hammond history, immigrant success stories, small business, real estate investing, restaurants, or the American dream, this episode is packed with wisdom and inspiration.
