We haven't wasted any time since returning to Atlanta. Last week we made the trek to Sandy Springs to eat at
Tasty China. Tasty China is the temporary posting of Peter Chang, famously dubbed "
the Disappearing Chef" by the New Yorker. Cheng used to cook at the Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. but for whatever reason decided to leave this prestigious position to roam the greater U.S., stopping and cooking in his distinctive Szechuan style along the way. And now, lucky for us, he's in Atlanta!

This was
by far the best Chinese food I've had outside of Asia. Nothing else even comes close. Not only is the food incredibly delicious, its a rare piece of excellence in a severely under-served category in American dining. Peter Chang's Tasty China is a must-eat for anyone in the area, and well worth the trip.
That looks great! If you're ever interested in trying Sichuan at home, I thoroughly endorse Fuchsia Dunlop's fantastic cookbook.
