Although Shandong cuisine is the first of the eight major cuisines and the original cuisine among the eight major cuisines, why is it rarely seen?

Why do we rarely see Shandong cuisine restaurants in life?

In fact, it is not uncommon to see Shandong cuisine restaurants. You can even see its shadow in the streets and alleys, but you just don’t pay attention to it. The specific reasons are as follows:

1. The price is too high. First of all, we must know that Shandong cuisine originated from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was only during the Ming and Qing Dynasties that royal cuisine appeared. At that time, a large number of Shandong chefs poured into the palace and brought Shandong cuisine into the palace, thus showing a sense of elegance and luxury. Therefore, under this prospect, the price of braised vegetables has naturally been raised, making it a cuisine that only dignitaries can afford. Even now, if you really want to taste authentic Shandong cuisine, the price will be much higher than other cuisines. With fewer people paying attention, you will naturally feel that Shandong cuisine restaurants are rare. 2. Lack of chefs. Everyone can cook Shandong cuisine, but few people can do it well. Because the cooking process of Shandong cuisine is relatively professional, it is also very demanding on the chef's skills. Moreover, braised vegetables also pay attention to the original flavor in terms of taste, relying on the original flavor to enhance the freshness, so it is still relatively difficult to find chefs of Shandong cuisine in the market.

3. The quality requirements for food ingredients are too high. The taste of Shandong cuisine is extremely demanding, so the selection of ingredients is also extremely strict. For example, commonly seen fresh ingredients include stock, crab roe, sea sausage noodles, etc. These ingredients can achieve the purpose of freshness in Shandong cuisine, and the cost will also be higher. For ordinary families, it is still difficult to have a meal of Shandong cuisine. Personal opinion.

It is rare to see Shandong cuisine restaurants. In fact, it is mainly due to the lack of chefs and the high requirements for ingredients. Under such circumstances, ordinary people are not willing to spend so much money to try Shandong cuisine. Therefore, there are actually not many braised food restaurants, but most of them exist in first- or second-tier cities.
