A dispute between internet celebrity Luo Yonghao and the restaurant chain Xibei has ignited discussions about pre-made dishes. Luo accused Xibei of serving mostly pre-made meals at high prices on Wednesday, and, in response, Xibei’s founder Jia Guolong denied the allegations and vowed to sue Luo for damaging the brand.
Around 1:15-1:40 pm at Xibei’s Xilongduo branch in Beijing’s Shijingshan District on Saturday, a Global Times reporter saw that the restaurant was full of diners at lunchtime, but there seemed to be fewer people than on other peak weekend days. According to a restaurant staff member at Xibei’s Xilongduo branch, there was a significant drop in the number of people by 1 pm on Saturday compared with queues that typically lasted until 2:30 pm on previous peak days.
