THIS is what it is all about. I've cooked in fine dining for over 15-years. I really dig on the chefs who are careful in their sourcing out, their preparation of ingredients, the presentation, the ambiance. . .creating an experience that one can only get under such situations. But this guy--Chef Eric Huang--taking his culinary knowledge, the comforts of what he's grown up with (i.e. his heritage), and a skillset that can likely rival anyone who's worked in 'haute'. . .and tossing it all up and keeping only what he wants, adding what he likes, and pulling it all off in a borrowed kitchen. . .to make food that is both adventurous, novel, AND accessible. Bro. . . SO MANY PROPS TO YOU!

I had the Peking House fried chicken dinner back in 2021 after a long wait and totally loved it! I also recently tried the recipe shared by chef Huang through Eater and it came out very close to the original. One item that doesn’t get enough credit is the dirty fried rice. I just think that the chicken liver fried rice was one of the best things I tried and I’m still trying to make it close to Chef’s version. I hope to see more videos on Chef Huang and wish him the best!
