A restaurant in China that challenged its customers to eat more than 100 dumplings in return for a free meal has fallen foul of authorities.
Local authorities in Yibin city in the southwestern province of Sichuan swooped on the restaurant after hearing of its “king of big stomach challenge,” the state-affiliated news outlet The Cover reported this week. The challenge reportedly involved patrons competing to eat 108 chaoshous, or spicy wonton dumplings, as quickly as possible to win a free meal and additional prizes.
The law against wasting food was enacted in 2021, following pointed government criticisms of online bloggers who live-streamed themselves binge eating to draw in viewers. Many of their accounts were subsequently suspended by the social media platforms. Under the law, restaurant owners can be fined up to 10,000 yuan if their establishments “induce or mislead customers to order excessively to cause obvious waste.
