Chef spits into dish while cooking for a customer at a restaurant in China (video)

A Chinese chef was captured on surveillance footage spitting in a dish while cooking for a customer at a restaurant in China.

The incident took place on Sunday at the Sufuji Restaurant in Xi’an following the easing of lockdown.

The customer was said to have gained access to the video after finding a cigarette butt in a stew he had ordered and then complained about it to the restaurant, according to local newspaper Huashang Daily. 

While watching the surveillance footage, the diner was left shocked to see the chef cooking without a face mask before spitting into his dish in the restaurant’s kitchen.

You can see in the surveillance footage very clearly that the chef bent down to spit into the wok especially,’ Mr Zheng said.
