It is reported that the selection of "Chongqing Landmark Vegetable" began in 2021. In the second half of that year, with the guidance and support of the Chongqing Municipal Commerce Commission, the Chongqing Food Culture Development Research Association, the Chongqing Food Wholesale Industry Association, the Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Professional Committee and the catering and cooking associations in 38 districts and counties began to screen special dishes in various districts and counties. After about half a year of hard work, 376 fine dishes were selected from thousands of declared dishes.
On April 19 this year, the "2022 Chongqing Landmark Vegetable Selection and Review Activity Launch Conference" was held. Subsequently, the Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Special Committee organized all review experts to conduct preliminary evaluations of 376 dishes based on the group standards of the "Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Quality Technical Specifications" and the "Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Quality Technical Specifications" and the "Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Quality Technical Specifications" and initially selected 272 dishes that basically meet the group standards. On May 19, all experts from the Chongqing Landmark Cuisine Expert Committee reviewed these 272 dishes in a scoring manner, including dish naming, food culture, raw materials and seasonings, technical flavor, safety and hygiene, dish quality, and economic value. On this basis, representatives of expert judges, media judges, public judges and representatives of municipal, district and county commerce committees, composed of well-known experts in Chongqing's catering industry, masters and university professors, conducted centralized review of these 272 dishes through conference review. Then, after on-site production, display and shooting, 145 "Chongqing Landmark Dishes" were finally selected.
It is understood that "Chongqing Landmark Cuisine" refers to Chongqing's geographical iconic dishes, including famous dishes, famous spots, famous banquets, famous snacks, Chongqing hot pot , Chongqing small noodles , as well as specialty foods such as braised products, sauce products, soy products, cured flavors and other specialty foods. In layman's terms, it is a typical original local specialty dish with the regional characteristics, cultural connotation, unique flavor, customs and folk customs of the origin of the original dishes, and has a wide regional reputation, social popularity and comprehensive influence, created by using local ingredients and unique local skills.
Landmark cuisine is an important component and feature of a cuisine, and it is a representative of the city’s food card and food culture of a place. Selecting landmark dishes will help build "Chongqing Landmark dishes" into a world food business card, enhance the popularity and influence of Chongqing's food at home and abroad, promote Chongqing to build an international food city, and provide important support for Chongqing to cultivate and build an international consumption center city.
