But there is only one Peng Changping, and there can only be one first place in the Chef Record. Xu Cheng can't demand the world's top standard from all chefs.
Xu Cheng knows that there are many hidden, unknown culinary geniuses in the world.
Just like years ago when he traveled in Southeast Asia, he once visited a very famous roadside stall, which was said to be unforgettable to everyone who had eaten there, and the locals felt uncomfortable if they didn't eat it for a day.
Xu Cheng tried it and found that the snacks from this stall seemed to have some ingredients that shouldn't have been added.
Feeling uncomfortable after not eating for a day might not be purely psychological.
Of course, besides such rare peculiar cases, Xu Cheng has indeed tried many hidden small eateries. Some chefs may not have high overall skills, but they have dedicated their lives to perfecting a single dish.
