OMG OMG OMG! @Bigley9 — did you know? Are you going?
KOP tho 
Peter Chang’s first restaurant, ChinaStar, was a Chowhound favorite discovered by @johnb and James Glucksman, and we had many a fantastic group meal there. Food writer Todd Kliman wrote a book, The Perfect Chef, about his mysterious disappearances where he would start cooking at one place, create a sensation, and then he would leave as quickly as he came.
His next two ventures were very good but it was best to be selective.
Now he has an empire. Not all his places have the same menu or format. They can be very good or rather ho hum.
The ones in Charlottesville and Richmond are now probably the dullest of the lot..
Yup, that’s where I probably first heard about him — unless it was through Bourdain (?).
I am unlikely to check his place(s) out, unless they get stellar reviews. We don’t travel to Philly to eat in the burbs, generally.
