The Biggest Chinese Restaurant in the World

With an official plaque to prove it, The West Lake Restaurant in Changsha, China, holds the title of the world's largest restaurant. With a staff of nearly 1000 - including 300 chefs - and 5000 seats, West Lake is a combination mini-theme park and eatery, featuring live entertainment and landscaped pools and pavilions. Overseeing the enterprise is its savvy and energetic owner, Qin Linzi, who uses military efficiency and martial songs to motivate her employees. This four-part documentary was produced by Lawrence Elman and directed by Weijun Chen.

Toilet Restaurant


"Taiwan has taken novelty restaurants to a whole new level. Welcome to Marton, the world's first toilet themed restaurant! Marton means toilet in Chinese and in this restaurant you literally sit on toilet seats and eat out of miniature toilet shaped bowls (both the Asian squat-style and the traditional Western variety toilets)."

I would never be able to bring myself to eat at this restaurant. My grandmother used to say,"Eat in the bathroom, feed the devil." I believed it then and I half believe it now. Supping with Satan is, in my view, something to be avoided.
