"I find Masterpiece, tucked in an unassuming strip mall in Duluth, a long-standing favorite for mouth‑numbing Sichuan specialties—dong po pork arrives as a square of meltingly tender pork belly in a vibrant dark-brown sauce, and skinned eggplant sliced into thick matchsticks is lightly fried, dusted with chili powder and pepper ash powder for a gorgeous crunch and creamy center that showcases the kitchen's skill." - The MICHELIN Guide
