The main reason was that chef Li's restaurant was known as the most authentic Dongpo meat restaurant in China. It was obvious that he was very confident to use the name of the dish as his name. If Yuan Zhou hadn't appeared, he would have been very confident.
Chef li had spent fifty years researching a dish. Naturally, he had to make it perfect. Even those without talent could make a good dish in such a long time. Furthermore, chef li was a talented person. It was the same for the things he had researched.
Yan Ming used to think so too. The Dongpo meat cooked with talent and time was definitely the best in China.
In order to have a taste of the authentic Dongpo meat, he had to make a reservation in advance, even though he was very close to chef li.
Not only did chef Li's Dongpo meat restaurant only have one meat dish, but the number of tables was also limited to ten every day. If one didn't have the ability, they wouldn't be able to eat it.
