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 1,000 waiters and 300 chefs and tables for 5000 patrons, 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. Both a product of China's supposed economic boom and rising middle class,  she rose from a hard life working in a stone quarry from age 12 to a commitment in building this food empire, ambitions which allow for no personal life.  her husband is her chauffeur.  "The film is a foodies delight, particularly for those whose tastes run to the exotic . . . the kitchen is something to behold."  (Giovanna Fulvi, Toronto Film Fest).
