The origin of the matter is this. At the end of March, Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce held a special conference on promoting the high-quality development of catering industry. At the meeting, it was proposed that the establishment of hangzhou dishes cuisine standards would be organized, and the unit that took the lead in establishing hangzhou dishes international standards would be given a one-time reward of no more than 6,543,800 yuan.

Some media reported on the topic "Refuse to be a" gourmet desert ",Hangzhou won a million-dollar prize to encourage the establishment of hangzhou dishes cuisine standards". For a time, whether Hangzhou is a "gourmet desert" has once again caused heated discussion among netizens. Some netizens said that there was no hope, and they bought a ticket to Guangdong for 6.5438+0 million yuan.

Some netizens agree that it is not just hangzhou dishes that tastes bad in Hangzhou. When food from any place comes to Hangzhou, the price becomes more expensive, the quantity becomes less and the taste becomes worse. What's the matter?

There are also many netizens who oppose it. Some netizens said that there are actually many delicious things in Hangzhou, but we just need to explore some inconspicuous corners. A netizen said that there are many delicious things in Hangzhou, and some shops in the old foundation taste good. Do people who say Hangzhou is a gourmet desert order takeout at home? It's all from the food packaging assembly line, so it's naturally not delicious. Some netizens also said that the miscellaneous Sichuan in Hangzhou is really delicious, and many families fry it very delicious.

What do relevant experts think of hangzhou dishes?

Master Hu Zhongying, a leading figure in hangzhou dishes, said: "hangzhou dishes has won many awards in various domestic competitions and once got the highest score. However, hangzhou dishes pays attention to the selection of materials, and has skills and difficulties in cooking. Not every store can do it well. Although some restaurants are making hangzhou dishes, the burning method and materials are wrong. "

Zhou Hongcheng, vice president of Zhejiang Food Culture Research Institute, said that some netizens said that Hangzhou is a gourmet desert. In his personal opinion, although the views of these netizens are somewhat exaggerated, they also tell some facts.

Zhou Hongcheng comes from Chongqing, the capital of food, and has been engaged in food culture research for many years. He said that compared with Chengdu, Xi, Beijing and Shanghai, there are few famous food streets in Hangzhou, such as Guijie Street in Beijing, Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu and hot pot restaurants everywhere in Chongqing. Cities that focus on Huaiyang cuisine, such as Yangzhou, have developed breakfast culture, and nightlife bar culture prevails in Shanghai. Except for a few places, Hangzhou is deserted after 9 pm. There are only a few food streets, and there is a lack of fireworks. Hangzhou citizens do not pay much.

Secondly, according to Zhou Dean, one of the characteristics of hangzhou dishes is "beneficial to the oral cavity, but unpleasant". Hangzhou dishes attaches importance to the original flavor of healthy food, and many classic dishes lack pungent taste, which is also a place that young people find hard to favor.

Zhou Hongcheng suggested: First, moderately liberalize system management to further boost the night economy. At present, stalls are allowed in some places in Hangzhou, which is very helpful for fireworks and firecrackers in the city. There are some breakthroughs in urban space management, allowing more space for food vendors to start businesses in cities. Second, hangzhou dishes itself should make more innovations. There are many young people starting businesses in Hangzhou. Their tastes are more diversified, and they have higher cost performance requirements for dishes. Hangzhou dishes should learn from others and pay attention to the innovation and integration of dishes in the new era.
