Chef Dynasty: House of Fang

Chef Kathy Fang hires a new chef at her restaurant so she can focus on her expansion efforts, which include an elite private event hosted by Kristi Yamaguchi at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. Kathy is pushed outside of her comfort zone working in a kitchen that does not meet her culinary standards while also having to trust the new chef to operate at Fang without her. Any slight misstep is an opportunity for Peter to nix her expansion plans.

At one of the biggest events of her career, Kathy Fang and her team work a multi-day San Francisco tech convention that brings thousands of professionals into Fang. Adding extra pressure is a 500-person party with her husband, Caleb, headlining. For the first time ever, Kathy opens all three floors of the restaurant, putting her expansion plans to the ultimate test. Kathy needs her staff to work double shifts and must even hire an additional serving team to pull off this enormous culinary endeavor.

Kathy Fang gets an opportunity to do a private event for Festival Napa Valley, where she must impress the festival executives and donors with a formal five-course meal to be paired with the winery's selections. As Kathy explores more opportunities outside of the restaurant, she makes a dubious business decision without Peter's permission, causing a major fight. At his wit's end, Peter starts to question Kathy's priorities and loyalty to the family restaurant legacy. Meanwhile, a major mistake by Long puts his future at Fang in jeopardy.

As Kathy sees her dreams coming to fruition, she is at a major crossroads with her father. To show her appreciation and respect for the legacy he has created, Kathy plans a surprise block party for her father's restaurant, House of Nanking, which has been named a landmark restaurant. Kathy hopes that this gesture will reaffirm her father's faith in her while also getting his blessing to continue the expansion. Meanwhile, tensions between Long and Lillian implode and force Kathy to make a major decision.
