Gourmet: Opening a Shop at Beijing Film Academy, with the Campus Belle as Chef

A dream in Nanke, a lifetime in a dream!

Lin Xuan, a senior acting student at the Beijing Film Academy, saw a glimpse of his future self struggling in the entertainment industry for ten years without achieving anything. Disheartened, he went home to take over his family’s restaurant and became a chef.

Rather than spend another decade busying himself only to fail at both acting and cooking, Lin Xuan decided this time to give up acting and focus on cooking. So he took over Shop No. 88 in the Beijing Film Academy cafeteria.

A bowl of clear-broth noodles made Yang Mi willingly become the shop’s cook.

A pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made Lin Xuan’s counselor, Yu Hong, his most steadfast supporter from then on.

A dish of Chinese cabbage in supreme broth made Sweetie, the princess of Beijing’s social scene, never want to leave.

A Dongpo pork knuckle made Huang San Shi shamelessly beg Lin Xuan to take him on as a disciple.

From that moment on, the Beijing Film Academy’s character changed more and more, and who knows how many students applied just to taste the legendary food at Shop No. 88.

If you ask where the holy land of chefs is, of course it’s the Beijing Film Academy of Arts!
