Running a restaurant is hard enough, but what if there鈥檚 family involved? In this episode, Felicity Hannah explores the highs and the lows of family-run eateries; their history, food culture, family dynamics and how they deal with the cut and thrust of business.

She heads to Liverpool in the UK, to Europe鈥檚 oldest Chinatown, where she meets Terry and Theresa Lim, the owners of the city鈥檚 oldest Chinese restaurant. And she pays a visit to a local Italian establishment, to meet brother and sister Paolo and Maria Cillo who, with their other siblings and extended family, are building a burgeoning family food empire in the city.

It鈥檚 an interesting time for these two restaurants. Italian and Chinese are two of the most exported cuisines in the world, but with growing competition from other popular food cultures, as well as global economic challenges, how are they adapting to changing times?
