Kings Co Imperial celebrates 10 years with smashburger dumplings and iconic chefs
In 2015, Kings Co Imperial made its debut in Williamsburg, spinning on Chinese classics with a Brooklyn twist. Countless orders of wok-seared dumplings and one sister spot in the Lower East Side later, and the restaurant has reached its ten-year milestone. To mark a decade in service, the restaurant has invited chefs from around NYC to the kitchen to cook up classics of their own. Starting this month, both locations of Kings Co Imperial are celebrating the anniversary with the summertime series, 'Dishes of a Decade.' From June 18 through September 30, the Chinese restaurant concept is inviting iconic chefs and eateries across NYC to create limited-edition dishes. For chef and co-owner Josh Grinker of Kings Co Imperial, it is all about celebrating those who have inspired them along the way. 'This series is about honoring the city that shaped us—and sharing the table with chefs we admire, whose food has inspired us over the years,' said Grinker in a press release. 'Nobody in this city accomplishes anything by themselves. Being in business for 10 years is a testament to our neighbors, our customers, our vendors and more.' Harlem's JJ Johnson is kicking things off this month. Infusing his African Caribbean heritage into a tried-and-true Chinese dish, Johnson's Jerk Duck Fried Rice special comes with a crown of ginger scallions and a fried egg. Rubirosa is bringing three of its time-honored pizza recipes to the restaurant: The Red with Rubirosa's signature vodka sauce, fresh mozzarella and Italian sausage; The Green with pesto and marinara; and half-red, half-green pie called the Tie Dye. But instead of pizza dough, the base of each will be scallion pancakes. George Motz of the West Village's Hamburger America is bringing a taste of Americana to the humble dumpling with the Fried Onion and Cheeseburger Dumpling (a dip of French's Chinese mustard is optional), while Emily Yuen of Greenpoint's Lingo is serving bowls of Bone-In Shio Koji Tonkatsu with Hong Kong curry and Chinese pickles. Settepani will finish the series with something sweet by serving a Cannoli Crumble with mango and honey. Each dish will be on rotation for a two-week period. And once it's gone, it's gone. So check out the full lineup of eats below and plan your summer calendar accordingly. Kings Co Imperial's Dishes of a Decade:

Thousands expected in small Welsh village for rock icon Mike Peters funeral that hopes to be 'like a festival'
Thousands expected in small Welsh village for rock icon Mike Peters funeral that hopes to be 'like a festival' Mourners from around the world are expected to travel to Wales to celebrate the life of The Alarm's Mike Peters The funeral of Mike Peters is being held in Dyserth on Thursday (Image: PA ) Thousands of fans are expected to gather in a small Welsh village for the funeral of rock icon Mike Peters later. People from across the globe are expected to travel to Peters' home village of Dyserth in Denbighshire on Thursday (May 29) to pay their respects to The Alarm's legendary frontman.. The musician died on April 29 at the age of 66 after being treated for an aggressive lymphoma, leaving behind his wife Jules and sons Dylan and Evan. He lived with cancer for over 30 years. Speaking to BBC Radio Wales, Peters' widow Jules said she hopes the funeral will be "like a festival and something that will go down in history." Jules said her husband had always held so much confidence that we would recover that he hadn't planned much for his funeral. "I didn't like to bring it up too much in case he thought that I thought he was going to die," she said. "We did have a funny conversation once when he said 'if you keep talking funerals you're really damaging my confidence here'. So I stopped." Around 150 people have been invited to the service at the Parish Church of St Bridget and St Cwyfan. However, a large outdoor screen and sound system has been put up in front of the church to allow fans to engage with the service, including joining in with plenty of songs. Peters' ashes will be buried in the churchyard across the road from the cafe she runs with her sons - The Red. Mike Peters with his wife Jules (Image: PA ) Jules told Radio Wales: "I never thought that Mike could be buried in the graveyard across the road from The Red in the village where he was born. "What I really wanted was somewhere public where everybody could come and pay their respects for the rest of time and that's what we've got." She added that it has "brought her the most comfort" to know that her husband will be laid to rest opposite their cafe. "I really hope that Mike knows that we are doing this because he didn't know this was happening in our last discussion. "It's bringing great comfort to me, Dylan and Evan. They work the coffee shop, so in the morning we literally are going to have a coffee and pop over to see Mike. Where he's laid to rest, he'll be able to keep an eye on us, so it's perfect." Jules also thanked the residents of Dyserth for their understanding as roads are closed to accommodate the funeral. "I think it's befitting for the man that came from Dyserth who became the rock star, travelled all around the world and always wanted to put the village on the map," she said. Following his death, tributes flooded in for the beloved rock star, who co-founded the Love Hope Strength cancer charity. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Jules expressed that she was "touched by the outpouring of love" and the sheer volume of people planning to travel from abroad for the funeral. In an open invitation to the funeral, Jules said: "Whether you knew him as the incredible musician he was, called him a friend or neighbour, respected him for the support he gave for others affected by cancer, or just want to be part of what we think will be a memorable day in a special place, you are very welcome to join us. "We are doing everything we can to provide a fitting celebration to someone who lit up the world whilst he was here. "All our family are so grateful to everyone in and around our village for the incredible support we've been given and for enabling us to recognise Mike's life in such an inclusive way, just as he would have wanted. Article continues below "As we have said before, it feels profoundly right that Mike's farewell will take place in Dyserth, the village where he was born and he proudly called home, and in sight of The Red, where he found so much happiness."
