Free lunch if you're pretty

A restaurant in central China is offering free meals to its most attractive clients.

Jeju Island, a Korean restaurant in the city of Zhengzhou, says the 50 most handsome people to arrive at its gates each day will be spared paying their bills.

The looks of those hoping for a free lunch are evaluated by a panel of plastic surgeons whose tummy-tucking talents the restaurant is trying to promote.

Protruding foreheads are a particular advantage for diners, according to reports.

As news of the promotion spread, Chinese internet users debated how they might fare at the restaurant. "I reckon I can get a 1% discount with my face," joked one user of the Weibo social media site.

"Do the ugly have to pay twice?" wondered another.

The restaurant's owners appear less concerned with English language skills. "Free meal for Goodlooking," read a bright pink sign outside the eatery.
