Behind the Scenes :: Chef Dynasty House of Fang Food Network Episode 1

Let’s take a look at my dining experience at Fang Restaurant in San Francisco, featured on the Food Network's newest show, Chef Dynasty. I was fortunate enough to try their special 6 course tasting menu highlighting some of their new signature appetizers, expertly prepared by Chef Kathy Fang, two time Chopped winner and dear friend of mine. The meal began with a savory Chinese Donut (油条) with marinated salmon and picked cucumbers. Next up were the flavorful curry croquettes, followed by the golden shrimp packets. But the dish that really stood out for me was the chili pork wonton - it was absolutely delicious and nostalgic of my childhood! The meal continued with a stuffed pepper with a tantalizing chingkiang glaze, and ended on a sweet note with the Sichuan chicken bao bun. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience at Fang Restaurant, and I can't wait to come back for more of their delicious Chinese fusion cuisine.

Old School, New Food

Chef Kathy Fang is taking her San Francisco-based restaurant, Fang, to new heights in Chinese cuisine. Kathy's father and business partner is Peter Fang, one of the city's most-elite chefs and owner of the famous House of Nanking. She must convince him that a modernized menu will help her expand and achieve what she coins as, "Chinese cuisine world domination." A private dinner for social influencers puts Kathy's new ideas to the test, but only if her guests, including Peter, approve of her changes.
