Seth catches up with award-winning Chef Peter Chang at his Bethesda, Maryland restaurant Q by Peter Chang. Chef Chang showcases his signature whole steamed fish, with fermented peppers and green onions, a dish that he grew up eating fresh from the Yangtze River in his native Hubei, China. Plus, Seth watches Chef Chang make his delicious chili oil, which pairs perfectly with the savory Szechuan fish.
Q in Bethesda, his 10th and largest establishment, is the entrepreneur’s longtime dream of a restaurant that allows him to stretch as never before.
