The Banquet Cook Steps Up

About the story

With a hotel banquet about to begin, the head chef refuses to cook because the tea is not at the proper temperature. Owner Zhou Ming has no choice but to ask rural banquet cook Chen Dachuan to take over. From urgently serving twenty tables to exposing hidden accounts in the kitchen, a contest over rules, craft and human nature quietly unfolds. Chen Dachuan steadies the situation with his unpretentious cooking and touches everyone with his sincerity. In the end, what truly sustains a kitchen is neither rigid rules nor refined technique, but reverence for food and an understanding of human feelings.
