But how much weight do they have in the country?

Why can't Henan cuisine spawn restaurants all over the country?

I'm sorry, I can not accurately answer this question, I can only throw out a few stupid theory, as a brick to attract jade it. If you have a different opinion, you can tell me, so that I can add to improve.

1, Henan since ancient times, the heavy agricultural suppression of business, lack of businessmen's genes and partnership in the business environment atmosphere. Therefore, many people can become chefs through hard work, but can not become the boss. And all over the country, most of these fly taverns are chef-cum-boss started.

2, Henan cuisine in the process of historical development gradually fell behind, lost popularity and influence, many people have lost confidence in the native Henan cuisine, unconsciously turn to other cuisines. This subtle influence is the most terrible, over time, Henan cuisine is to go to the inheritance, innovation and development. This has lost the opportunity to improve cassoulet like Shandong people, innovative dishes to create a hit.

3, the lack of industry norms and government guidance, such as the same Hu spicy soup, eat in different places to taste, ingredients are very different, over time, many cottage restaurants, affecting the outside world for the evaluation of authentic snacks.

4, Henan people for food, the requirements are not very high, so for this venture is not very sensitive.

...... If you think there are other more popular local food I did not list, or that my last reason is not sufficient, welcome to correct
