1958年4月12日，毛泽东主席在黄克诚将军和时任湖南省省委书记周小舟的陪同下，神采奕奕地迈着健步来到火宫殿饮食店视察。时任火宫殿公方经理何炳炎把毛主席迎接到二楼雅座。在摆台时，毛主席起身以一个普通劳动者的身份同何炳炎一道铺好桌布。然后，毛主席问何：“火宫殿的老人还在不在？生活过得好不好？长沙的米多少钱一斤？”何炳炎向主席一一作了汇报。在点菜时，非常熟悉火宫殿的毛主席笑着说：“吃点家常口味，来点臭豆腐，东安仔鸡……就可以了。”厨房师傅听说是给毛主席炒菜，个个心中又惊又喜，都想拿出看家本领来，一定要把饭菜做得合主席口味。当端上外焦内嫩的臭豆腐时，毛主席边吃边说：“火宫殿的臭豆腐，闻起来臭，吃起来香。”主席在火宫殿吃得很高兴。临走时对何炳炎说：“火宫殿的小吃、湘菜很著名，你们应该保持它的特点，火宫殿是广大群众喜爱来的地方，你们还要把它搞得更好。”
火宫殿此次推出主席宴，是火宫殿总经理谭飞先生带领全体火宫殿人，通过研究史料，走访曾经为主席服务的湘菜大厨们，并反复研究，多次摸索最终成型。是以伟大领袖毛主席视察火宫殿时所品尝的火宫殿美食为基准，结合毛泽东青年时代在火宫殿吃过的小吃，以及主席喜爱的湘菜，组成一席。有六冷碟、十大菜、两随菜、四点心。有的清鲜淡雅，有的色香味浓，都是原汁原味的湘菜、湘点。经火宫殿的湘菜大师们精烹细调，可让您在一桌宴席中品味湖湘饮食文化、感悟伟人情怀。
