?NoodleBot? taking over restaurant kitchens in China

by CNNGo staff

Latest food fashion in China?s noodle restaurants: replace the sweaty, grumpy chef with a harder-working, never-complaining ?NoodleBot.? That is, a robot programmed to slice noodles.

These iron noodle chefs have made headlines on China's Internet recently for their quirky looks and awesome productivity -- a ?NoodleBot? can slice 150 pieces of noodles per minute, which makes them about three times more efficient than a human chef.

?NoodleBot? -- which sells for around RMB 14,800 (US$2,330) -- was invented by Cui Runquan (???), a 36-year-old farmer-turned-restaurateur from Hebei Province in central China.

-- Cui Runquan, inventor of "noodle-bot" Chef Cui
