Renowned chef Dong Zhenxiang is opening the first DaDong restaurant in New York, focusing on the distinctive flavor and texture of his signature duck. The Manhattan restaurant will bring the brand's traditional roast duck to American diners, with the chef promising to preserve the original recipe.
Renowned chef Dong Zhenxiang, founder of the DaDong duck brand, is preparing to open his first restaurant in New York. He said the most important factor in DaDong roast duck is the texture of the meat.
According to Dong, the secret to achieving crispy skin and tender meat lies in an elaborate preparation process. The ducks are selected from special breeds, then undergo multiple stages of marinating, drying, and roasting in a charcoal-fired oven.
The restaurant is expected to open in Manhattan, New York later this year, marking the international expansion of the DaDong duck brand, already famous in China. American diners will have the chance to experience a traditional roast duck with rich flavor and crispy skin.
Dong emphasized that despite expanding to the international market, he still maintains the original recipe and preparation process, with only slight adjustments to suit local tastes without losing the dish's identity.
