According to statistical data, as of the end of 2015, there were 126,000 restaurants in Guangzhou, and the per capita annual catering consumption in Guangzhou reached 4,143 yuan, which is more than 7 times the national average.

Here, you can not only enjoy the rich variety of morning tea, which is the standard dish in Guangzhou, but also easily explore various small restaurants with "high quality and low price". You can also eat top delicacies from all over the world... As a thousand-year-old businessman

As the capital of Guangzhou, Guangzhou’s “food culture” is of course inseparable from its unique “business genes”.

When it comes to talking about business, you can't just sit down on the street and chew on two steamed buns.

Therefore, the teahouse with tea and seats became the earliest place for information trading.

Slowly, business talk grew bigger and bigger, and drinking a few cups of tea was no longer enough to satisfy the businessmen who were chatting happily, so some teahouses would provide several exquisite "tea snacks" to meet the needs of the guests.

And because in an era when information and transportation were underdeveloped, intelligence information can only be most effective if it is obtained as early as possible. Therefore, "drinking morning tea" has become a big habit for people in Lingnan area.

With the gradual increase in exchanges between the north and the south, many dishes and cooking techniques with northern characteristics have also come to Guangzhou. After transformation by local chefs, they have become authentic Cantonese dishes. Guangzhou cuisine (also known as Cantonese cuisine, is a traditional Chinese diet

One of the most important genres of culture, the representative of Cantonese cuisine, the birthplace of Guangzhou) is beginning to take shape.

In the late Qing Dynasty, due to the corruption of the Qing court, which continued to use various means to squeeze Guangzhou's "Thirteenth Bank" merchants to fill the national treasury, and with the increasing foreign aggression, the "Thirteenth Bank" could only fall apart due to "internal and external troubles".

Many Guangzhou businessmen and their families went to Shanghai, the "new port", to "make a living" and brought with them, of course, Guangzhou's "food traditions."

For a time, the Cantonese restaurant opened by Guangzhou businessmen became a bright pearl in Shanghai.

At the same time, Guangzhou businessmen who went to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States to engage in business were also "taking root and sprouting". At the same time, "Cantonese cuisine" was competing to be opened in "Chinatowns" everywhere, and "Eating in Guangzhou" became famous all over the world.

After the reform and opening up, as the "Canton Fair" and other internationally influential events were held in Guangzhou, more and more foreign businessmen settled in Guangzhou, bringing with them a taste of their hometowns.

The meaning of "eating in Guangzhou" has gradually transformed into the triple meaning of "authentic Cantonese food + national food + food from all over the world".

So, next time someone asks you why you “eat in Guangzhou”, please recite the above words word for word!

Do Guangzhou people really eat everything?

no!

no!

no!

Multiply by the Nth power of the ID number!

Not only do Guangzhou people not dare to put anything into their mouths, they also have extraordinary persistence and perfectionism in the matter of "eating".

Walking on the streets of Guangzhou, you may not see too many luxury cars and watches, or beautiful young women with bare bodies and beautiful necks, but don’t think it’s because Guangzhou people are too “money-conscious” to spend money to enjoy it.

.

As everyone knows, the low-key uncle wearing a "vest + double chimney" suit on the street is a "multimillionaire" every minute.

The secretive Guangzhou masters all have "family recipes" that have never been passed down to others. They are not afraid of the difficult challenge of "making delicious soup every day" and can even carefully match the "heat index" of their family members according to the solar terms.

A "customized" dietary therapy package from soup before meals to sugar water after meals.

You will be unknowingly nourished by the all-round and seamless nourishment of yam, angelica, wolfberry, eyebrow beans, barley, and snow fungus, resisting the "dampness and heat syndrome" unique to the Lingnan region.

Guangzhou people, who regard "respecting ingredients" as the highest culinary motto, are very meticulous in the selection of ingredients, even putting life and death out of their minds.

I still remember that when the bird flu epidemic broke out again and again, the Guangzhou Municipal Government went against all the public opinion and implemented the "ban on the sale of live chickens" in the city, which triggered fierce opposition from the public.

Unlike Beijing and Shanghai, Guangzhou has numerous "high-end restaurants". Unlike Sichuan, Chongqing and Hunan, which has "special dishes" with loud brands and distinctive tones, Guangzhou has the most picky eaters who love to "eat to make friends"

Citizens, and the true love for human fireworks buried deep in their taste buds.

As for whether it is Michelin or not, "XX Food City" and "X Great Food City" are just a little embellishment in ordinary life... In recent years, Cantonese cuisine with a lighter taste has become popular among "Internet celebrities" such as Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine.

"Brand" has slightly fallen out of favor during the "Crackdown on Heavy Flavors", and traditional Cantonese restaurants such as Datong Restaurant, Lihua, and Zui Qionglou, which have been in "business difficulties" for many years, have also been "closed" one after another, leaving "old diners"

Sighing.
