What Happened When China Legalized Restaurants
Yebu Ji, an audio producer who grew up in China and acted as a cultural guide. Wei Hong, a Beijing-based food writer and local restaurant expert. They tour Beijing dining from a 16-course Chef 1996 tasting to Haidilao’s theatrical hot pot. Conversations probe how 1980s–90s reforms created private restaurants, the rise of refined regional dining, tech and spectacle in chains, and the social shifts behind it all.
