Lunar New Year: Bao'd Up's Oxenbao
That's right, citizen, it's the Year of the Ox – and this popular eatery is celebrating with soft and savory bao buns that feature an ox-head decoration on the outside and brisket on the inside. Timely and delicious, is the idea here, and it's such a good idea that they're also offering Valentine's bao (with a heart on the outside and cheesecake inside) at the same time. But it's for just one weekend, as that adventurous chef Ting Lin points out – so get 'em while you can.Available Feb. 12-14 -

Lunar New Year: Tso's Happy Family
"Happy families are all alike," wrote Leo Tolstoy. This Happy Family, a holiday special from the busy kitchen at Tso Chinese Delivery, is made with shrimp, chicken, and beef with broccoli, carrot, sugar snap-peas, bamboo shoots, baby corn, and button mushrooms in a savory spicy brown sauce. (We reckon the author's Anna Karenina would've loved this delicious amalgamation of flavor.) Bonus: Comes with a free order of Sesame Balls when you use this special Chronicle readers' code: accny2021.Available through Feb. 12 -
