Chapter 1152 What Are You Lining Up For
As a result, the line grew even longer.
As of then, it was made up of fans, haters, agog netizens, curious passersby, nearby residents, and
friends of those that had just eaten there.
The line was so long that the end was not even in sight.
At that moment, a group of people alighted from a few MPVs.
Judging from the video cameras they were holding, many of them were obviously cameramen.
The last person who got out of the vehicle was none other than Jason.
The project he was currently working on was on hold, as they had yet to find a suitable female lead.
Since he was bound by the contract and could not take up another role until the film crew sorted things
out, he participated in a variety show in the meantime.
The theme of the show, named Amazing Tastes, was to showcase traditional local cuisine.
As the permanent host of the show, Jason’s job was simple. All he needed to do was discover
restaurants that served traditional local cuisine and try them out.
After he accepted the project, many owners of chain restaurants wanted to be featured on his show as
a means to promote their brands. However, Jason was obstinate and refused to feature restaurants of
that sort. In the end, the program slowly evolved into a travel show instead.
He would travel to all the big cities in the country and find the most popular local restaurants there.
For that particular episode, the filming location was set in Jadeborough.
“Today, we are here at Sunflower Street, a famous restaurant district among the locals. Almost all the
shops here are at least a hundred years old. Let’s see if we can find anything delicious along this
street.”
After Jason gestured at the camera, the cameraman stopped recording.
“Don’t follow me around yet in case a commotion arises. After all, this street should be thronged with
people. I’ll wear a mask as I scout out the restaurants, and I’ll only need one cameraman to come with
me.”
The director nodded. “In that case, we’ll wait for you here. We can begin the filming officially once you
have decided on a restaurant.”
“Sure,” Jason replied. After ensuring his face was well covered and unrecognizable, he walked ahead
with a cameraman following closely behind.
No sooner had he taken a few steps than he saw a long line right in front of him.
Why are there so many people here? What are they lining up for? Is one of the shops giving out
freebies?
Intrigued, Jason stood at the back of the line and lowered his voice deliberately as he asked the person
standing before him. “What are you lining up for?”
The latter was bored from waiting, so he related everything to Jason.
“I’m lining up to eat at this restaurant called Maureen’s Kitchen. It’s their grand opening today, and I
heard it’s a branch restaurant. My friend told me that the food here is delicious. Coincidentally, I’m not
working today, so I thought I’d drop by and try it out.”
Jason’s eyes popped in bewilderment.
“Are you telling me that all these people here are lining up just to have a meal?”
“Yeah.”
Jason furrowed his brows. “Can this be a publicity stunt to create an illusion that the restaurant is very
popular?”
“No! Definitely not!” The man showed Jason the group chat he shared with his friends. “My friend came
early and finished his meal. Here are the pictures he has taken.”
Looking at them intently, Jason saw an array of traditional local cuisine.
Even though they were only pictures, he could sense how delicious the dishes were by looking at them.
After keeping his phone away, the man pointed to the front. “If you don’t believe me, you can go to the
booth in front and get a free sample.”
