"Chang adeptly set the stage for the decadent dumplings, masala, potstickers, and hot-and-numbing sauce that made this a flavor-packed fête to remember."
Peter Chang is an award winning chef specializing in Szechuan cuisine who has cooked for restaurants throughout cities in the American southeast and the DMV area.
