Peter Chang

Incendiary Chinese Cuisine

Many consider Peter Chang to be the greatest Chinese chef cooking in America, and he has a devoted legion of followers to prove it. Chang’s food-obsessed groupies, who’ve spent years chasing the peripatetic chef across the country, are finally at peace now that he’s settled down in Virginia. At Peter Chang’s China Cafe you’ll find phenomenal Szechuan food that is a result of a combination of masterful techniques and flawless ingredients. One of his signature dishes is dry fried eggplant, a technique he developed to eliminate any oily mouthfeel. This technique yields a soft, creamy interior and dry, crunchy crust that’s coated in numbing bliss and fiercely pleasurable hot chiles. He’s also famous, and rightfully so, for dishes such as beggar’s duck (a perfectly roasted duck that’s perfumed with sweet spices and stuffed with seven jewel rice), ma la rabbit hot pot, crispy pork belly, and lobster and broken rice porridge. This cult figure now has four Virginia locations, so there’s no better time to check out his impeccable Chinese cuisine. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.
