Oakland Fortune Factory

Here’s What to Expect at Ethel’s Fancy, Palo Alto’s New Restaurant From a French Laundry Alum | Eater SF

"Run by Alicia Wong and her family, Oakland Fortune Factory creates Chinese porcelain and spring blossom fortune cookies; I learned the decades-old business was struggling six years ago when Wong’s mother took over, and Wong’s vibrant new renditions are now helping to bring up the bottom line. As Wong says, "A fortune cookie represents who I am — I’m a Chinese American. I’m not entirely Chinese, and I’m not entirely American. I’m both, and that’s what a fortune cookie is." - Paolo Bicchieri
