After “appreciating” the Super Talk video with fear, I felt an overwhelming sense of “regret”.
Recycled lettuce, spoiled yellow throat, sour soup...the most basic "morality" for the catering industry is shattered on the ground, which is simply ruining the outlook.
In recent years, the industry has been shocked by the crazy expansion speed of star hotpot restaurants that "emerged out of nowhere".
On the one hand, it uses the celebrity effect to attract a large number of customers, on the other hand, brand "overturn" incidents occur frequently. Are hot pot restaurants run by celebrities reliable?
01
The "black-hearted" kitchen is "reused"
On Weibo, the related topic "Zheng Kai Hotpot Restaurant Apologizes" with 180 million views , triggered a heated discussion among the public about "star hot pot restaurants".
In the explosive video, the chef of Huo Fengxiang, a hot pot restaurant chain invested by Zheng Kai, shocked people -
There was excrement left in the goose intestines, and the staff said it was "normal" , and even said, "Don't be so direct, that's called seasoning."
The yellow throat used in this store has become smelly, but the treatment method is to "rinse it for three hours" and "it can be used if it doesn't smell bad." At the same time, the kitchen staff also revealed that the yellow throat and beef louvers were "soaked in medicinal water."
In the garnishing process, dishes such as white mushrooms are not washed, and the lettuce leaves used as side dishes are "recycled and reused" if they are not eaten by customers.
As for the oil used for making fried food, the kitchen staff said that they "change it once a week, but not when they are busy." A chef who has been on the job for more than 20 days said that he has only changed his job once in these 20 days.
The braised soup placed near the oil pan is not boiled twice a day to ensure that it does not deteriorate. In the hot summer, the stew has not been changed for more than 20 days, causing the stew to become sour and spoiled.
After reading it, I felt bad all over.
As a daily "foodie", I choose to go to a hot pot restaurant owned by a celebrity just to achieve the "halo effect" of "since it is owned by a celebrity, it must be more secure and taste better".
Although I know that "going to the Xianhe Village owned by Chen He to meet Chen He, and going to the Huofengxiang owned by Zheng Kai to meet Zheng Kai" is like "eating a wife from the wife's cake", it is basically a false proposition. . But what if it happens?
Let’s be honest, the chance of meeting a celebrity in a hot pot restaurant owned by a celebrity is really not high. Because most celebrities are "hands-off shopkeepers" who are responsible for shouting on the platform and do not participate in the actual operation and management of hot pot restaurants.
It seems that you are going there for the halo of stardom, but you really have to choose carefully - not all restaurants opened by celebrities have guaranteed food safety and the "delicious food" you want.
What is even more incredible is that in addition to food safety issues, sometimes even personal safety becomes an issue.

Frequent "rollovers" are still expanding
According to media reports, when a couple was dining at Xianhezhuang, a hot pot restaurant opened by Chen He, the ceiling suddenly dropped. The woman was hit on the head and hands by the ceiling, while the man was burned by the bottom of a hot pot that was knocked over by the ceiling.
