TTHP: The Tony Hu Project

Finally, after almost 3 years, an update and brand new feature: The Tony Hu Project!

It is a well-known fact that Tony Hu is trying to take over Chicago, one delicious restaurant after another. It is a lesser-known fact that, though I am generally in favor of this propagation of deliciousness, I have never been to any Hu establishment apart from Lao Sze Chuan. That's right, in the non-contiguous span of 14 years, I have not yet partaken of the gastronomic offerings at any of the other acclaimed Houses of Hu. In order to remedy what is essentially a giant ancestral fail, I had to come up with a plan. But not just any old plan. Upon slightly more reflection, it became clear that Chinese food is far more delicious when shared with friends and family, due, in part, to the company, and also because more dishes can be shared. Thus, I enlisted the help of some intrepid eaters to embark upon a culinary fun-venture from henceforth known as "The Tony Hu Project" (TTHP for short).
This fun-venture is fairly simple: get a group of people together and eat at every Tony Hu restaurant in Chicago, culminating with a dinner at the yet to be opened location in River North.
So, for the next 4 months or so, we will endeavor to visit ~2 Tony Hu spots per month.
Of course, the news is that Mr. Hu keeps expanding his empire, so we will have to eat faster than he can acquire property....
I think my fellow TTHP members are up to the challenge.

Dumplings, ho!
