Description

I’m Ben Hundreds, and today we’re at Wusong Road, a "tropical slice of paradise" hiding some of the most exclusive culinary tech in the country. Chef Jason Santos has built a love letter to American Chinese cuisine, but the "show stopper" is a massive, high-heat brick oven that you literally cannot find anywhere else in America. 🏮✨ Wusong Road is home to the only restaurant in the U.S. that cooks Peking Duck in this traditional brick oven. Sourced from the only farm in the country that does a 100% Peking breed, these "Buddhist Ducks" are a masterclass in exclusivity. In this video: • The "Sacrificial" Buns: We explore the night-market-style tea parlor where they serve caricatured character bao—a modern take on ancient offerings made to look like heads. • The One-and-Done Drink: We try the "Zombie"—a cocktail so strong the house limit is strictly ONE per customer. • "Goth" Tiki Culture: Get an inside look at the underground world of limited-drop tiki mugs, from hand-sculpted monkeys to "goth" designs that can fetch up to $500 on the resale market. • Fine Dining Meets Comfort: See how Jason combines deep family heritage with fine-dining experience to elevate childhood favorites like General Tso’s and Crab Rangoons. Is this the most unique dining experience in the U.S.? Watch to find out! 🌴🔥 _______________________________________________________ Subscribe to Tastemade: https://bit.ly/3PSFkYm JOIN us at Tastemade+: https://www.tastemade.com/plus LIKE us on Facebook: https://bit.ly/3Bs9oG6 FOLLOW us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3vzyq2b FIND us on Snapchat Discover: https://bit.ly/3SgEbLQ
