Chinatown

Attendees explored the hidden gems of Houston's new Chinatown--the places you might never find without a translator and plenty of insider knowledge. Chef Chris Shepherd took them to visit a hole-in-the-wall spot for unforgettable Beijing-style Peking duck that's so popular, guests have to order it a day in advance. Other tour highlights included stops for delicious beef-soup dumplings, pan-fried pot stickers--you can even grab a frozen bag to go--and fried chicken.
