Super-Spicy Szechuan and Suckling Pig Pizza with Han Dynasty

Super-Spicy Szechuan and Suckling Pig Pizza with Han Dynasty

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
When we met Han Chiang-owner of the Han Dynasty restaurant empire-at a shoot in Philly a few years ago, we knew he would eventually need to have his own episode of Chef's Night Out. Well, we finally got around to it-and Han absolutely delivers. After heading out of his University City location a few beers deep, our first stop is the home of world-famous mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. At his place, we enjoy a barbacoa feast cooked by Han's friends Ben Miller and Cristina Martinez. who run a weekend taco cart in South Philly. The next stop is Amis, where Executive Chef Brad Spence has prepared a whole roasted suckling pig. Brad lets Han have the honor of chopping the head off, and then they dice up some pork to top a pizza fresh out of the oven. Then, it's off to Prime Stache in Old City for some wings and whiskey shots with Philadelphia Eagles starting center Jason Kelce. Finally, Han stumbles across the street to his Old City location to whip up more wings, and we enjoy a special hotpot with his staff

so happy to see Han Dynasty. After eating in Han Dynasty we had to create a new category to describe good food called - Life Changing-. Han Dynasty was the first place where we had life changing food. It introduced us to Sichuan cuisine and now we can't eat any other kind of Chinese food. We even drove 3 hours to Philly just to eat in Han Dynasty. Please open a branch in DC too: )

He's funny, but when he said old school Chinese restaurants scamming Americans, that's not fair. They had to adapt to American tastes to survive. There is no way American palates in the 50's and 60's would have accepted something like hot pot or offal based dishes. It took decades and a different way of looking at what is food. Perhaps he was just joking.

Funny. but the first Chinese people here were mostly contract labor. They were poor and working class people, not a bunch of gourmands. They weren't -restauranteurs-. The other thing was, back then, food was just not as good. People were fleeing starvation. so, maybe they didn't know what good food tasted like, because, you know, starvation.

It's not that Chinese peeps tried to sell shitty food. it's that Americans back then liked shitty food! They were not used to 'real' Chinese food back then! That's why the gross Chop Suey was born in SF! Just like how Americans think Olive Garden is 'authentic' Italian food!

I don't have a problem with profanity but if this guy yells -motherfahkerz- one more time. Like dude. He might be able to cook, but his personality in this video at least, is so off-putting. The food looked so good though. Won't take that away.
reply

so basically the business model is have minimal cooking skills, hire great chinese chefs from china and import into the us at low rent rates and bask in their collective effort. this guy is a business man. not a chef.

Out of all the chefs I've seen profiled on Munchies this guy seems like the biggest asshole of them all. I mean do you really want to party after work with a boss who's a dick to you at work?
reply

hahah, i was going to mention he reminded me of Mr. Chow from the hangover - but didn't because i thought people might say its racist. but the dude on the video stole the words from my mouth lmao.

I just went to a used bookstore. I bought Martin Yan's China (softcover. When I got to the register to pay, the cashier pointed out that my copy is SIGNED! Is that cool or what?
reply

He tries too hard to swear, even when he's not drunk or hungover. he's one of the many chefs featured by Munchies that just got lucky. but it worked for him so, great job I guess
