I have actually asked this in a few countries, in China the most common answer I got was Peking duck or thousand year egg, every interesting processes.

I love to challenge myself in the kitchen, in fact its the only place I like to challenge myself.

Anyone who has worked in a kitchen commercially, what is your hardest dish, or one you just remember having the toughest time with? What specifically didn't go right?

Yeah, a classic French omelette is simpler, but American omelettes have a wider range of ingredients and styles.

Tomato is the worst. Tastes great, but adds a TON of moisture.
