| Koreatown's queen of tofu stew
In 2006, the tale of her success was reenacted in a 12-part radio miniseries broadcast in South Korea.
Fellow immigrants look to Lee for a clue as to how she built up a business that brings in $19 million annually and employs more than 300 people. Many wonder how a common dish brimming with very Korean flavors -- spicy and salty, and served scalding hot -- succeeded in Los Angeles.

The BBC meanwhile was yesterday embarrassed by two further examples of faked competitions.
