Listen "45: The Donut King | Mayly Tao"
Episode Synopsis
In 1975 "Uncle" Ted Ngoy fled Cambodia as a refugee and settled in Southern California where a local priest sponsored him and his family. Ted supported his family while working 3 jobs, 24hours a day. One of his jobs was working at a gas station, while pumping gas he smelled the scent of a dessert, one that reminded him of a similar dessert back home, this one was a donut, he bought one for $.10¢.
He knew this dessert was going to set up his future for himself and his family so he went to his local Winchell's and learned how to run the business there - They then let him manage one in Orange County - he then ended up owning nearly 70 donut shops of his own in Southern and Northern California. Things then took a turn for the worse as he was introduced to Las Vegas.
