Zhou Youjian was stung by this blatant mockery.
Famo Mansion is just a western restaurant that opened a few years ago. Taking advantage of the craze for French cuisine in the capital, it spent a lot of money poaching seasoned chefs from other western restaurants and recently hired a young internet celebrity chef, creating what they call an internet-famous restaurant.
It cooks whatever is trendy, without any fixed style of its own.
But such a western restaurant, which seemed to have no style or heritage in Zhou Youjian's eyes, had beaten his long-established Chinese restaurant to a pulp, causing their revenue to plummet like a freefall.
Recently, it became even more exaggerated. Because the rival devised some chef-special red wine foie gras, even the long-time patrons of his establishment were lured away, and they showed no signs of returning.
