Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Peter Chang’s China Grill with some good friends. It was a special VIP Chinese Banquet for fans of the chef, and I was fortunate to be able to celebrate the opening. Here is what I wrote about the event at RichmondMagazine.com
The elusiveness of chef Peter Chang has captured the imagination of food lovers and writers alike. From the moment he left his work at the Chinese embassy in Washington circa 2005, his Szechuan legacy had been experienced all over the South. Chang was a famous chef on the move; he never stayed in one place more than a few months. His stops included Northern Virginia, Charlottesville, Tennessee and Atlanta — where he seems to have settled. As his legend and popularity grew, experiencing Chang’s handiwork became almost a sport. Enthusiasts attempted to game Chang’s system to see where he would show up next and they flocked to eat his food before he would pack up and move someplace else.
