Virginia Trip Day 1

Johnny showed up with his wife who is not what she seems. She appears quiet but takes her opportunities to tell Johnny what he thinks. She also has slipped up with English in front of Debbie and "ripped Eric and Charlie a new one". She said some things in front of Dr. Hsu in Chinese like he wouldn't understand,

Johnny decided he didn't like the times we were flying and he wanted his wife to go with us so I had to re-book for everyone. Consequently we were starting our day at the airport at 6 am and my phone was ringing at 4 am for pity sake with changes to our 2 pm flight.

We got to Virginia and the climate is way ahead of ours. They seem to be in full blown summer. We had a quick tour of the plant and then a business meeting. Then Johnny and his wife left for the airport. I swear they spent more time in airports than here in Virginia.

We watched the progress being made for a bit and then were taken to our hotel to check in before dinner. We went out to a fantastic dinner at Peter Changs. Peter Chang is an award winning chef specializing in Szechwan cuisine who has cooked for a number of restaurants in the American southeast. Chang was born in Hubei Province and trained in China, and cooked a meal for the Chinese president, Hu Jintao. He moved to the United States to work as the chef at the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C.

This was not the ordinary Chinese food at all but very interesting dishes Like Scallion Bubble Pancake with a Curry Dipping Sauce and Pan-fried Pork Belly with garlic and chilies. Peter Chang was named a finalist for best chef Mid-Atlantic in James Beard Foundation Awards and in the 100 Very Best Restaurants 2016. They seem to be working on the website but since they opened another location in the same strip mall that makes sense http://www.peterchangrestaurant.com/ The new place seems to specialize in Dumplings, Rolls, and Buns.
