Peter Chang Arlington

After leaving his post as the chef for the Chinese Embassy, Peter Chang popped up at Chinese restaurants around the country and vanished as soon as devoted fans tracked him down. The chef has since shed his elusive persona and opened a small chain of restaurants bearing his name. The latest and seventh in the string is located in Arlington. Expect the same crowd-pleasers that made Chang a household name in these parts, including the duck in a stone pot and the dry fried eggplant. (We can’t even type that without our mouths watering.)
