Shownotes

“Firstborn in Mandarin Plaza is a Modern Chinese American restaurant from Chef/Owner Anthony Wang (formerly of Ink, Auburn, Destroyer) in L.A.’s Chinatown exploring identity, seasonality, and technique.”

“When you get a classically trained chef cooking dishes like country-fried chongqing chicken, egg custard, and roast duck, there’s only one place in Los Angeles that feels right for it: The Mandarin Plaza in Chinatown. Firstborn’s menu changes seasonally which gives the guests extra motivation to dine there regularly.”

Chef Anthony Wang takes a break from prep to join us.
