    When they have ***, the Chefs are always afraid to lose a *, some even committed suicide as Loiseau.
    Michelin's 🌟 restaurants, that's the red Michelin-Guide, there are also green ones, touristic guides.
    I can't spend holidays somewhere without reading the green guide before and read it to my kids, they " adore" it ! 😂
    And there's also the maps, very useful before GPS ! I still have some in my car, one of my erea 1cm = 1,5 km, useful when the GPS doesn't know the detour (Umleitung), one 1cm =4 km.

    Michelin star food doesn’t have to be stupidly expensive either. Michelin rated food can be found in a bustling Singapore hawkers market (with an award winning simple bbq roast chicken & rice dish at $3 sold from a stall), in the casual HK dim sum cafe chain (Tim Ho Wan) or in the global Taiwanese dumpling restaurant chain (Din Tai Fung, famous for their many delicious varieties of soup dumplings aka xiao long bao). 😋🥟🥨🦪🍛🍱

      Actually there are branches of Tim Ho Wan & Din Tai Fung in the US. Only Din Tin Fung is in the PNW though, with a few restaurants in Seattle and one in Portland. Their dumplings are pretty good and it’s fun watching the chefs making them all by hand which customers can observe through the big windows inside and outside the restaurants. Much more expensive than in Asia of course and probably better ones to be had in local one-off mom & pop places.

    Michelin has taken a good look, by handing out stars every year, they get a lot of free publicity. In the Netherlands, more and more restaurants are chasing the coveted Michellin star. And I must say that the quality of the food served is also high, as is the price!

      Also witness the Anthony Bourdain effect in Singapore where the Hainanese Chicken Rice stall he was filmed eating at and appreciating, always had long queues.

Fantastic little stall with yummy food and it’s popularity is well deserved.

    Great yummy nonsense! Btw: I heard that many French divide things into two parts, those you can eat and those you can't. Of course that is a cliché but there is a grain of truth in it. There is no "all you can eat" because quality ranks before quantity. In Germany it is often the other way round. ;((
