How the Michelin Guide rates restaurants

Question: Has anyone ever dropped a Candy-Apple-Red Michelin Star business card accidentally/on purpose
(while pulling my phone out of my pocket) just to insure that they get the Best Service EVER?!? Just asking.

Looking nice.

If Mr. Trump would have to rate Michelin star restaurants, he most likely would have to say overall "FAKE NEWS"

In this time and age, SERIOUSLY, who gives a f about Michelin...

there is NO michelin chef. there are only michelin star restaurants/kitchen. its not the chef who gets the star.

Michelin rate restaurants. Not chefs. Isn't Michelin starred chef a misnomer? If I worked as a chef at a Michelin starred restaurant and due to my lack of skill or maybe the restaurant's deteriorating service, they lose a star during my tenure, by the misunderstanding and popularizing of the term 'micheline starred chef' I would be elligible to call myself a Michelin starred chef and carry the perceived reputation it is attributed even though I may or may not have the skills to back it up...

Stop calling chefs, Michelin starred chefs. They may own and run Michelin starred restaurants and in those cases, the recognition is warranted but I many cases, they just happen to work at one and allowing them to parade that title is extremely misleading especially to potential investors...

Had no idea it was the tyre company behind the ratings, lol

I went to 8 Michelin restaurants over this year. I have to agree with all of their ratings. It’s a true delight going to each and every Michelin establishment.

Fancy way to charge for a lump of well dress fried chicken

you guys didnt ask about the scandal ?

Stars or die

I worked in 3 stars restaurant in Nyc. They cook shiiiittrtt. Food still get 3 stats. Ffffffffff. Lair

😂 this guy is embarrassed to be associated with tires and it’s so funny for some reason. literally all major corporations branch into different markets.

I love that they didn’t even change his voice…

Good to know how they rate the restaurants

I certainly appreciate Michelin but this felt like a bit of a softball interview. I’ve been to many, many Michelin restaurants that were downright not good, and I know many people that agree and now completely ignore Michelin. The guide feels relatively antiquated, valuing a very specific genre of cooking. The interview feels like a bit of a puff piece instead of raising genuine questions about the guide’s relevance today.

I want that Michelin job lol

That’s nice and all, but I’d rather eat at a restaurant that’s been on “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”, like Donatelli’s, in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Excellent place to eat before a concert in St Paul.

Isn't it pronounced Miche-LAN?

But what qualifies a Michelin judge/ creditors?!

I know the stars are a HUGE deal in the culinary world, and it's influence is enormous. But... when you strip everything down, it ultimately boils down to the OPINIONS of several people. Think about that. It is the OPINION 3 or 4 people. THAT's IT! And as an aside, if a restaurant has pics of "important" diners to look out for, then that is actually not a good restaurant, because I would want the level of the experience to be the same for everyone at a place, and by having a lookout for certain people, does that mean those select few get "special" treatment" over the average diner? That actually makes a place look bad...

While I appreciate that multiple inspectors will visit a restaurant over the course of a year, there are a number of restaurants that I question their worthiness of a star.

THANK YOU I have always joked about it being a tire guy…. Now we know ❤❤❤❤❤

Burger king or Michelin, it all comes out the same, in the end of course

Skip all that pricey gourmet stuff, go to In & Out Burger! Now that's a 4 Star dining establishment. And youll have money leftover for dessert somewhere. Heck, coffee too.

A lot of 1 star Michelin restaurants in LA are too expensive for what they serve.

I love that service is not part of the star rating. I’m sure service is very good at all these places… but food is why I go anywhere.

None

Stars!

I'm sick of the snobbery of Micheline rated restaurants. Furthermore, that duck "entree" ENTREE! really? 3 bites and it's gone. Overly pretentious and ridiculously small portions. Being a retired executive chef myself, when I go to an expensive restaurant, I want to walk away satisfied. Not having to eat again less than 2 hours later.

this is so interesting to see tourist guide became guide for the best restaurant for dining experience for each country...

The more people drive to the restaurants, the more they wear out their tires 👍

I wonder if those 2 broads cook for their wives?

All you have to do is bribe them, and they give you a star.

Dining out is so expensive, so the Michelin guide is very helpful.

Sign me up to be an inspector! 😅

Don't forget ECUADOR and JAPAN 😊!

I guess he never ate at the right hotdog stand in New York City. I will drag him to Wall Street where the fine street dining begins.

Should have cut this segment in half. It seemed like the longest six minutes ever.

I had no idea the tire company was also the food rating company.

Over priced

Star? Looks more like a flower...still valuable, but..?

I'd like to find "authentic" Chinese food in Richmond, Virginia, and I don't mean cooked by Mexicans or Puerto Ricans🙄 Any recommendations Critics?

Has a star ever been given to a restaurant with bad service?

I’ve heard of Michelin Tires, but certainly not one that rates certain restaurants. Maybe Zagats or other restaurant rating companies have some competition.

Sometimes the star is a curse to clients paying too much $ going to a restauant that had their one hit wonder moment and they promote their star forever.

I wish you'd delved into how restaurants are selected for assessment, especially in the Global South. The entire continent of Africa for example has zero Michelin starred restaurants- is that something the organization wants to remedy I wonder. Likey not.
