In the dazzling, bizarre Tang dynasty capital of Chang’an, a culinary legend spanning the worlds of the living and the dead is about to unfold! Modern culinary god Lin Hao transmigrates by accident and takes over a restaurant specializing in cuisine for the underworld. Thus begins his hilarious quest to rewrite history through food.
When the entire staff goes on strike, he uses an automatic cooking wonder and paid breaks to turn lotus-root monsters, underworld enforcers, and delivery dogs into a wildly creative culinary dream team. When he hits a dead end with ingredients, he turns insects into delicacies: glowing firefly dumplings and crispy ghost-fire grasshopper skewers take Chang’an by storm. He even goes head-to-head with a culinary god from the Western Regions, turning the cook-off into a magical spectacle with dancing soul-eating worms and sizzling fluorescent meat skewers!
When palace intrigues erupt, he brings his underworld cuisine team straight into the royal maelstrom. Teaching the crown prince to cook bizarre dishes leads to one laugh after another; he uses pastries to defuse the tensions of factional politics. And in the middle of a coup, he serves up a super hot pot bubbling with Meng Po’s Soup, leaving the rebels grinning like fools as his “food captives”! From ox-headed and horse-faced demon ovens to judge’s-brush kitchen utensils and glowing seasonings, his wild ideas blend food and fantasy to perfection.
Here, every dish is the product of a brilliant imagination, and every crisis becomes a joyous feast. Watch Lin Hao use the magic of food to write his own legend and make all of Tang-era China go wild for underworld cuisine!
