Taiwanese Chef 'Guizhu師' Closes Restaurant After 23 Years, Vows Culinary Story Continues

Chef Guo Zhuyi, a familiar face on Sanli Metropolitan Channel's "Master Chef," has closed his restaurant after 23 years. The chef, known affectionately as "Guizhu師," announced on Facebook that the closure at the end of last month is temporary and does not signify his retirement. He emphasized that his culinary journey is far from over. "Although the restaurant has temporarily drawn to a close, Guizhu師's passion for cooking has never been extinguished," he stated. He affirmed that as long as he can still hold a spatula and stir-fry, his familiar flavors will continue to be shared. Guo Zhuyi revealed he is actively planning and strategizing to reintroduce his well-known Sichuan dishes, spicy zongzi, and meal kits to the public in new formats. He aims to ensure both old and new patrons can still enjoy his signature hand-crafted dishes. "Life sometimes takes a turn, it's not an end; Chunye is taking a temporary break, but Guizhu師 is not retired, and the story of the kitchen is not yet finished," he wrote, expressing optimism for the future.
