Beloved Top Chef finalist and fan favorite chef Shirley Chung brings her new dining concept, Night Rooster, to New York for one night only. Known as Los Angeles’ "Dumpling Queen," the Beijing-born chef trained in classic French and Italian kitchens under esteemed chefs Thomas Keller, Guy Savoy, and José Andrés before establishing her own distinct point of view in modern Chinese cooking.
For this menu, chef Chung highlights her latest work at Night Rooster in Dallas, pairing her deep heritage with regional Texas ingredients. Guests will enjoy her signature and inventive handmade dumplings, like jumbo Wagyu cheeseburger potstickers, alongside dishes that marry northern Chinese culinary traditions with Lone Star State flair.
This one-night-only dinner will feature a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvre upon arrival, an expertly crafted multi-course menu with thoughtfully curated wine or beverage pairings, and a Q&A with the featured chefs.
