When you dine out, you might think about the ingredients that go into your food, but you probably don’t think about all the numbers that make your meal happen.

We find out the astonishing number of handmade dumplings his kitchen produces daily, just how much pork the Cochon 555 champ cooks every week, and which Beatle has graced his dining room.
