The name of the restaurant "Eat Emperor Da" is derived from the folk saying of the Tujia family, which is a Tujia style restaurant in Xiangxi launched by Changsha 57 Degrees Xiang Catering Management Co., Ltd. in 2016, and the most famous of the company is "57 Degrees Xiang", which was rated as one of the top ten brands of experience catering in China in 2014, on a par with Haidilao. At present, there are two branches in Shanghai, both of which are opened in shopping malls, focusing on Xiangxi flavor and ethnic characteristics, with clear positioning and focusing on brand image.
The Emperor of Dinner followed the practice of using 57 degrees of Hunan to formulate the sauce, and freeze the temperature and time to ensure that the taste of all chain stores is consistent. And inheriting the creative characteristics of 57 degrees of Hunan Province, some dishes are moved to the table for on-site cooking, such as spring water organic vegetables, boiled mushrooms, bean sprouts, old tofu, pork, etc. with a whole bottle of Nongfu spring water, on-site cooking, all dishes are cooked in the pot just after using up a bottle of water, seasonal vegetables are fresh and refreshing, and those who don't like heavy flavors can try it. Qianjiang chicken offal is also a classic delicacy of the Tujia family, for the Tujia family, eating chicken offal also has the auspicious meaning of "longevity", chicken heart, chicken intestines, chicken gizzard as raw materials, plus ginger chili pepper and other ingredients stir-fried to remove the taste, the taste is chewy, crispy, tender and spicy makes people have a great appetite.
You can't miss the special snacks of the Tujia family, fragrant roasted bamboo leaf cake, the fragrance of bamboo leaves penetrates into the glutinous rice ball after the fire baking, and the sticky fragrance is sticky and fragrant when you bite into it. Named after the golden color and triangular shape, the golden triangle cake should be eaten from a sharp corner to avoid hot tongue, the corners are crispy and the middle is soft and glutinous, and the different textures are fused with endless flavors.

The most popular of the Shanghai branches is the Super Brand Plaza store in Lujiazui, where the semi-open restaurant is slow to turn tables and basically have to wait for a table. The restaurant uses a self-service ordering machine, the position between the adjacent tables is not large, the table area is small, the plate is large, the diners who order a variety of dishes remember to choose a slightly larger table to sit down, the restaurant service staff are wearing national costumes, will make dishes on the spot, but the number of personnel is insufficient, and the meal customers seem to be in a hurry and busy. The newly opened Longzhimeng branch has been upgraded and adjusted from the environment to the dishes, equipped with Tujia's unique hanging pot, mysterious phoenix wall painting and five-color and five-flavor totem style, integrating more Tujia cultural elements such as Tujia Children's Association and Waving Hands Hall into the restaurant decoration, and the dishes have also increased accordingly.
In addition, it should be noted that although 57 degrees of Hunan is classified as Hunan cuisine by many food platforms, considering that 30%-40% of its dishes are new concept dishes, deviating from traditional Hunan cuisine, 57 degrees of Hunan is not on the list as a Hunan cuisine restaurant.
