Comment on Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company?
Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 hours agoJust one factual point - restaurants don’t have to pay for a star. They don’t even have to apply to be considered (but it helps). The only costs are those incurred in running a fine dining restaurant.

Michelin inspectors will not visit cities unless the city registers with Michelin, which carries high, recurring fees.
That’s why many prominent cities have zero Michelin star restaurants, because they won’t pay the fees(tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the city) that Michelin demands for their stars.

Wow. Had no idea that’s how it worked over there, fucking ridiculous. Glad that’s not how it works over here.

I get it, I was shocked when I looked it up. Extremely disappointing
