Zhaojiagan canteen has a history of hundreds of years. At the end of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, a young man named Zhao Dianlong, carrying a pole, set up a stall in Beigangzi and Wanzi Lane (then called Wanzi Lane) in Jinan, specializing in rice and rice. Later, after the completion of the new market, Zhao Dianlong built two wooden houses in the market, named "Zhao Jia Dry Hotel". Zhao Dianlong died on 1932, and his son Zhao Zhongxiang inherited his father's business. 1934 In the northeast corner of Daguan Garden, another "Zhaojiagan Restaurant" was opened. In the next few decades, the business situation did not decline.

There is no luxurious decoration in Zhaojiagan restaurant, and there is no ceiling in the store. You can see purlins and beams, but there are endless diners here. The rich man in silks and satins and the peddler with a waist tied outside his little cotton-padded jacket can all come into the shop, have a pot of rice together and enjoy a jar of meat.

There is a plaque sent by diners in the store, which reads the four characters "Chi Ming Li Xia". At that time, in North China News, you can often see reports about Zhao Gan Midian.

Southerners like to eat rice, and the dishes they cook are different from those of northerners. They pay attention to details and collocation. When eating, several plates can be placed on the dining table. The side dishes on the plate are the real "side dishes", so few that northerners are reluctant to eat them.

Many southerners come to Jinan, and if they have the opportunity to eat the "dry rice with meat" of Zhao's dry restaurant, they will often fall for it. Some southerners have eaten all their lives, and most of them can't remember which meal is particularly delicious, but they have a deep memory of Jinan's "rice with pork".

The rice dry rice in Zhaojiagan Hotel is famous both inside and outside the province because "the meat is good and the rice is good to cook".
