Folks in University City are about to have their collective faces melted off from the brain-scorching hot Szechuan that a new Han Dynasty location will be serving there soon. Seems Han “the Man” Chiang has his eye on a spot west of Schuylkill for his next outpost. Eater Philly reports that it’s the former home of MidAtlantic, the locavorish and critically panned restaurant from Daniel Stern that closed in February. There’s no word on what kind of time frame Chiang has in mind for an opening. But considering that the turnaround on his recently opened Manayunk restaurant was just six days, we’re guessing it’s going to be pretty soon. [Eater Philly]
