Beloved Top Chef finalist and fan favorite chef Shirley Chung brings her new dining concept, Night Rooster, to New York for one night only.

For this menu, chef Chung highlights her latest work at Night Rooster in Dallas, pairing her deep heritage with regional Texas ingredients. Guests will enjoy her signature and inventive handmade dumplings, like jumbo Wagyu cheeseburger potstickers, alongside dishes that marry northern Chinese culinary traditions with Lone Star State flair.
