, a modern pizza eatery that has blown up in the Big Apple. A native of Sichuan, China, Tong has also worked in Singapore, Hong Kong, and other locales around the Pacific Rim.
Tong remembers vividly what sold her on Austin. “For me, because he took me to Zilker Park, and there were people walking. There's music going on. There's dogs. I was like, ‘This is really nice.’ We went to the Botanical Garden, and then we went to all these restaurants… they all have outdoor seating!”
Tong will definitely use Chinese flavors throughout the menu; she believes that American views on that cuisine are too restrictive.
