A hugely popular London chain of 5 distinct restaurants born from an idea that a trio of art students hatched while traveling around Taiwan.
Starting with a storefront selling buns [bao], they have expanded to noodles, grills, and xiao chi [small plates -- think Chinese tapas]. Illustrated with photos of dishes, the restaurants, behind-the-scene shots, and even family photographs, the book also examines their branding, including their iconic "Lonely Man" logo -- a man alone, eating a bao, which they consider the perfect moment, fulfillment in solitary pleasure.
