My Street Soup Just Destroyed Michelin!

In a city where a Michelin kitchen sits a few blocks from the street stalls, Lin Chen spends his days working the back of house until his uncle and aunt, who control his pay, dock his wages and mock him in front of the rest of the staff. They have him thrown out of the kitchen. With nothing left but a family recipe for hulatang, a spicy soup passed down through generations, he sets up a cart on a street corner. The soup reaches the richest man in the city, who has not been able to eat properly for years. One bowl fixes what doctors could not. His daughter, heir to the family's holding company, starts showing up at the stall and will not leave Lin Chen alone. Word gets around. Business owners, local officials, and social media personalities start lining up at the cart, filming themselves eating from paper bowls on the curb. The challenge comes from a chef holding three Michelin stars, who happens to be Lin Chen's own cousin. He shows up at the stall to put the soup to the test in front of a crowd. Lin Chen tells him to finish the bowl before he says anything else, and sets out to prove that a soup sold on the street can hold its own against the kitchen that just threw him out.
