Tony HuCelebrity chef Tony Hu who has restaurants in Chicago, Connecticut and Las Vegas has been charged with federal tax evasion, reports WLS.

The man known as the mayor of Chicago’s Chinatown is accused of hiding cash receipts and evading state taxes.

He’s also accused of modifying sales records to conceal his income.
