In the mid-1970s, Malcolm in the Middle<\/em><\/a> star Bryan Cranston was traveling the country with his brother, Kyle, when the pair decided to stop in Florida for a while. To earn some cash, the Cranstons got themselves jobs as waiters at a restaurant called the Hawaiian Inn. The head chef there was the ill-tempered Peter Wong, who reportedly hated everybody. According to Cranston, there was no chance of anyone getting on Wong\u2019s good side.<\/p>\n While appearing on Jesse Tyler Ferguson\u2019s Dinner\u2019s on Me<\/em> podcast in 2024<\/a>, Cranston called Wong \u201cawful\u201d and said that the staff would frequently have meetings where they\u2019d joke around about how they could get rid of him. One person suggested using a meat grinder on Wong; another proposed hitting him with his own wok. It was all in good fun, of course, and nobody at the restaurant was seriously planning to kill Wong. After a short stay, the Cranston brothers set out to go to Maine on their motorcycles, leaving Wong and the Hawaiian Inn in their rearview mirrors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
