Super-Spicy Szechuan and Suckling Pig Pizza with Han Dynasty

When we met Han Chiang-owner of the Han Dynasty restaurant empire-at a shoot in Philly a few years ago, we knew he would eventually need to have his own episode of Chef's Night Out. Well, we finally got around to it-and Han absolutely delivers.
After heading out of his University City location a few beers deep, our first stop is the home of world-famous mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar. At his place, we enjoy a barbacoa feast cooked by Han's friends Ben Miller and Cristina Martinez. who run a weekend taco cart in South Philly. The next stop is Amis, where Executive Chef Brad Spence has prepared a whole roasted suckling pig. Brad lets Han have the honor of chopping the head off, and then they dice up some pork to top a pizza fresh out of the oven.
Then, it's off to Prime Stache in Old City for some wings and whiskey shots with Philadelphia Eagles starting center Jason Kelce. Finally, Han stumbles across the street to his Old City location to whip up more wings, and we enjoy a special hotpot with his staff.

A nostalgic, intoxicated, angry drunk, with a kind heart is always the best way to set the tune for anything. 🏆

[@mikedirado4270]

His food is amazing

[@Mnguyen92]

Look how many restaurants he has opened, he is a fucking millionaire. Acts like someone from the street. Fucking love him man

[@JasonCtutorials]

you can't do that in california. Piece of shit business licenses.

[@pentelred]

Money doesnt mean much, food always will mean alot, that and booze or hate to say it sports/games of any kind.

[@Mnguyen92]

***** word!!

[@danpt2000]

jasonc_tutorials I've never lived on the West coast, my image of California was that it is some sort of melting pot paradise. But of course,... realty is something else.

[@lv999iam]

m nguyen wise man once said "never forget where you come from"

[@MsBurntToast]

"I cannot stand when people comes in here with like 4 people order the same thing. It makes no fucking sense whatsoever!" THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. FUCK.

[@Gmoney2dope]

this guy is too real

[@tresojos]

+Gmoney2dope whahah whutt?? who you talking to bro XD fcking good one tho im gonna remember that one

[@tresojos]

Kissed by autism is how you call that.

[@NotUGHailong]

itsokyoucanlaugh i fucks with this guy cool as fuck

[@oldschoolm8]

Getting wasted and eating great food whilst being ferried around and having a camera crew document it might be one of the greatest jobs in existence......

[@Thejugglingbum]

My advice to anyone who visits on a Han Dynasty. Eat the spiciest dishes last! I started with a level 10 spicy dish and ohhhh man. I was crying through the entire meal

[@trumpfism]

dominickd16 childhood memories with daddy

[@ritvikmiglani]

trumpfism oh damn lol

[@agro2much4me2]

trumpfism hahaha you legend

[@dominickd16]

trumpfism For you

[@Linconjo]

***** na

[@jasonchiang251]

"I don't get it, that's fucking retarded" lol made me laugh so hard

[@jameskwon7617]

He's funny, but when he said old school Chinese restaurants scamming Americans, that's not fair. They had to adapt to American tastes to survive. There is no way American palates in the 50's and 60's would have accepted something like hot pot or offal based dishes. It took decades and a different way of looking at what is food. Perhaps he was just joking.

[@logicgamer6858]

so happy to see Han Dynasty. After eating in Han Dynasty we had to create a new category to describe good food called " Life Changing". Han Dynasty was the first place where we had life changing food. It introduced us to Sichuan cuisine and now we can't eat any other kind of Chinese food. We even drove 3 hours to Philly just to eat in Han Dynasty. Please open a branch in DC too :)

[@xwhite2020]

Dudes got it happening - does have a slight swearing issue though.

[@GoldGraffitiKing]

xwhite2020 You would be surprised by how many Chinese people swear uncontrollably lol

[@carlosmante]

xwhite2020 he is probably with a hangover. Hot and spicy barbacoa will make anybody to sweat.

[@ewoknroll8213]

Fuck you

[@ADDerall509]

xwhite2020 Hey guy fucking fuck you, you fucking fuck.

[@BobertJunior1025]

+xwhite2020 He's just drunk

[@Dave....]

I love that they call their sandwich the "Ron Fucking Burgundy". Don't get no more American than that.

[@avenue_boy]

"Spicy?" "Fuck yeah their spicy" 😂😂😂

[@scoots3131]

I thought I loved to swear until I watched the Munchies series.

[@Nightshade1881]

lol its like if its scripted huh haha they gotta do so many takes cut no one cussed on the first one

[@partykrew666]

Dave H that's chefs for you

[@bloccboy6972]

Haha lol, he reminds me of that hangover guy😂😂

[@bufunga]

He sounds like juvenile kid that just learned how to cus

[@thesocraticparadox6722]

***** yeah I think that's what bufunga meant by that. but I'm with you both. it was pretty cringing.

[@42Freeway]

But he has 6 (7?) restaurants? The F bombs erase all that?

[@thesocraticparadox6722]

42 Freeway completely irrelevant.

[@42Freeway]

quixotic I look at it as... wow, great for him that with no training or experience at 26 quickly started a multimillion dollar business. The cussing is irrevelant. Almost like a Seinfeld episode where he meets an amazing woman who is perfect in every way accept for one annoying trait... like an odd laugh... and he kicks her to the curb. ha

[@42Freeway]

quixotic although as he got drunk and is in vetri;s place and makes a toast... he becomes the guy from hangover.

[@bennypaddycake7182]

Finally munchies made a episode about han. Been waiting for this for 2 years

[@chrisfitzner6818]

This dude is awesome as hell, opened up so many restaurants and still real chill

[@metalica732]

I demand more episodes with this guy!

[@BlackJesus8463]

I think we saw the best of him already. 😅😅

[@imkayfull]

"this the type of sandwich that I wanna eat it, then fuck it later" this guy is amazing LOL

[@ChubbsRN]

The food in this episode looked absolutely amazing, especially that pizza and that pork sandwich

[@BlackJesus8463]

meh

[@HSSLNG]

"I was 26, no girlfriends" I feel you, man. I dont have any girlfriends either.

[@INFINITE4Invasion]

+HSSLNG bro hug

[@BobertJunior1025]

+HSSLNG Feels bad, man

[@julianslavin3896]

pologmist?

[@jmontis2]

i really respect this guy having a legit szechuan place, there's so many chinese places i just pass by because i know they're crap, this the kinda place i'd eat at once a week

[@VClabbers]

This guy said "fuck" even more than gordon ramsay would hahaha

[@HelloMrK]

Inspiration. He fucking did it. Humble and hard working dude who doesn't bs when it's about his business. Glad he got a night off to eat and drink good with great people around him/

[@patyiu2010]

麻辣 is the truth! Han Chiang reminds me of the Amaz of the culinary world

[@multipurposepaperbox]

nigga you better start naming this shit "Chef's night out" again, this shit is misleading

[@Yamaha-MT-09]

Agreed.

[@mikecantreed]

The dan Dan noodles at Han might be the best thing ever cooked.

[@davidcolston6196]

Best episode ever. That barbacoa meal in the beginning blew my mind.

[@imhellag]

This guy's revealing all the Chinese restaurant secrets hahah. Jesus look at the size of one of his restaurants. Rent must be crazy.

[@ahpadt]

Vitamin M is the fucking future. Lmao.

[@Uckertay]

"...but at work, people have to do what I ask... or I go fucking nuts... yeah." LMAO! Honesty at it's best.

[@coilnova3]

the old guy artist seems like a really chill dude

[@0pTicaL]

The driver is holding a bottle of beer while driving, the way life is supposed to be! CHEERS!

[@ZKZ123]

Wait, "cooking Chinese people..?" Damn he savage for real! Lol

[@Try_Hard_Dad]

Got 2minute and 10 seconds into this video and fell in love with this guy Han no homo.

[@steveditko1]

Wow, that Mexican place in the couple's house was awesome!

[@steveditko1]

That was some great looking food. Good job Munchies, you've done it again.

[@alexbtw]

Been hyped to see this dude ever since he featured on an older chefs night out.

[@frankwright9774]

shout out to true degenerates!

[@gridnik]

What a legendary character! Totally lovable

[@hipakilla]

Hot pot means everything to our sichuanese,its a way of connecntion, we eat and drink together,talk bout normal lives,man, its just chill

[@aaronaftershock]

dude looks like a league of legends player after 15 years of alcoholism

[@chakhayso3599]

Probably one of my favorite episodes, gotta hit up Han Dynasty one of these days

[@89cadi]

That triple pork sandwich looked amazing.

[@jeremyepstein7977]

Watching this just has to make you happy.

[@ellem2085]

That house....I love it.

[@johnnyscifi]

This is the best episode of munchies ive seen in a looong time!!!

[@robkamanda]

Christina Martinez should have her own Munchies Episode... :)

[@bossman674]

This was a good episode!

[@TravisJMcLeod]

hahah, i was going to mention he reminded me of Mr. Chow from the hangover - but didn't because i thought people might say its racist... but the dude on the video stole the words from my mouth lmao.

[@christophercarvounis3484]

I got some food from his place in University City while I was in Philly this summer. the cold rabbit and peanut appetizer is delicious

[@edwardspierin7655]

Love munchies makes me want to cook every time

[@xUnleadedx]

this guy is the best...really cool and hilarious

[@ObiWanCannoli]

The title alone made my mouth water : )

[@Ethnertion]

Dude that man can cook while he's drunk. Damn.

[@haileyspivey7629]

This is what Chefs Night Out is all about

[@eendenmannetje]

Loved this guy

[@djjmann]

Drinking and driving on the intro...good examples. LOL

[@onfiyah]

"this is like the sandwich, I wanna eat it, then fuck it later" Hahaha this guy is awesome

[@olivercato6568]

wow I actually worked for Han as a busboy when I was in high school back when he owned a Han Dynasty in Royersford, PA.

[@louiem2]

Han = Legend

[@ms.martiegallego8834]

Louie M Why the garbage. mouth? I don't get it???

[@effoednagy1]

I like how he's drinking and driving. Pretty funny intro

[@Yorkil]

It's a van, he isn't driving. And it's a bad habit that you actually 'like' it. I hope you don't have a driver's license.

[@jacksontran7139]

How is drunk driving funny?

[@KingDennisJensen]

Jackson Tran Because in Soviet Russia, car drive you.

[@effoednagy1]

By "like" I didn't mean that I aspire to do the same, j meant I found it amusing that he is doing so in a video

[@KOL0125]

he's obviously not driving.... brains

[@michaelchristensen340]

Is that Jason Kelce at the end???? Dudes a legend.

[@daveotuwa5596]

They united as a group to be on this episode. They're not monarchs. Dining without rulership.

[@daveotuwa5596]

Han united his company to establish a joint in the City of Brotherly Love.

[@daveotuwa5596]

Their joint became a regional chain that's not as large as a conventional Oriental cuisine chain like Panda Express.

[@scottishguy924]

great video guys :D

[@amosho261]

I love this guy!

[@peacetreaty86]

he was so gone

[@Cherrdonnay]

HAN! FINALLY!

[@EdvinNak]

love this guy.

[@kumbackquatsta]

the only chef's night out episode that wasn't shit

[@timmyyong91]

Even though he succeeded, he still sounds like a spoiled rich kid that wants to play boss.

[@nicoray15]

The thing about making it and succeeding is that your allowed to play boss. His friends seem to like him

[@mentalmetal1]

timmy yong not at all. he sounds like a broke kid that made it doing something that he loves. money followed him but he knows now that money will follow when you are passionate and good at doing something good and it's passion that matters.

[@emilymitchell3868]

Yoo, the barbacoa lady has her own episode on Chef's Table. She got very successful shortly after this.

[@rahulmaharaj7019]

Munchies one of the best KZbin channels ever!!!

[@lightfoot123]

So he got his drive from wanting to prove himself and making his family proud, don't see how ppl can't hate on that..

[@owned2easy]

that's a big ass restaurant

[@Thejugglingbum]

Yeah I've been in it. The ceilings are fucking huge!

[@BobertJunior1025]

+DuDuHead What's an ass restaurant? q:^)

[@TheElevatr]

[@sikedmike]

[@pentelred]

I feel this guy, hes a hard ass but, he treats you good. Hope he doesn't change at all.

[@thingfish000]

I just went to a used bookstore. I bought Martin Yan's China (softcover). When I got to the register to pay, the cashier pointed out that my copy is SIGNED! Is that cool or what?

[@kilograms2500]

Thank you for drinking and driving.

[@jamiegutierrez7685]

He really emphasizes the SHIT out of his swearing!

[@Dadampling]

This guy is hella awesome.

[@ADRW]

[@thomasconboy4636]

He is funny I think I may need to visit that restaurant to hang out

[@MrStreetballer5Official]

Fuck that Pulled Pork sandwich looks good. Ima go make some fucking ramen now with cheese eggs and hotsauce. I feel like a bum.

[@fernandocruz5615]

Great to see that the Chinese love our REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD.

[@khaliddjafaar9833]

02:58 i almost thought he will finish that with “well who’s laughing now? f*ck you, dad!”

[@ThePasserby76]

[@VonDutchyy]

[@VonDutchyy]

Jan van Bergen Oh wait he says that

[@dariesparza93]
