"Pecking House, the fried chicken pop-up, opens its permanent home in Brooklyn. The restaurant is the first from Eric Huang, a Taiwanese American chef who previously worked at Eleven Madison Park. The menu features fried chicken seasoned with Sichuan peppercorns, Tianjin chiles, sugar, and MSG. Customers have shown a strong appetite for the unique flavors. The restaurant operates from Wednesday to Sunday, with plans to extend to breakfast and lunch services soon." - Luke Fortney
"San Gabriel— Tianjin Bistro, the only SGV restaurant dedicated to food from the city of Tianjin, has closed. The restaurant opened almost eleven years ago in August 2008. While one-time sister restaurant Beijing Restaurant serves some Tianjin items, and there are three Tianjin breakfast spots, it’s always sad to lose a specific cuisine. The replacement is Tao’s Kitchen, which focuses on whole or half chickens with different “flavors”, a la hot pot or pan roasted fish restaurants." - Jim Thurman
