In response to the question "Why do you chase Michelin?", Peri said that some people really don't know anything about Michelin, but this is not a problem. If you are really interested, it is not complicated to do some homework and supplement your own knowledge. The terrible thing is that some people are ignorant and enterprising, but also want to follow the fashion, which is entangled.
once, a friend of a friend went to Paris and asked Peri to help him book a Michelin three-star restaurant. You know, almost all Michelin-starred restaurants in the world have to book in advance, and some restaurants have been high because of the heat, and even need months or more in advance to book seats.
The friend of this friend has no such concept at all. Basically, before he was about to leave from China, an overseas phone call said, "You can book a Michelin three-star restaurant for me when I arrive in Paris tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." So, because he is a friend of a friend, Peri turned around and asked someone to help him book it, reminding him to "pay attention to his clothes", and the other person said, "Pay attention to his clothes? I thought it was a French fast food. "
Therefore, it is conceivable that Peri canceled the appointment and recommended this creative cuisine that was going to be promoted to a star in the past. She has no basic knowledge, so how can she appreciate it? !
There is a similar example. I once went to a Michelin three-star restaurant with a friend in China. The same person didn't care about clothes at all. Embarrassment was inevitable. The waiter and other guests were all dressed neatly. Suddenly, a denim skirt and cloth shoes came in here. Can it not be more harmonious? !
that's not to mention. I sit down and take pictures crazily, and the dessert at the next table is enough to take pictures of. People bring it to her in a gentleman's way. Although the expression on my face is ancient, can I take off my contempt like a continuous river?
After several times, another friend will go to Michelin-starred restaurant for dinner. Peri not only recommends the restaurant, but also recommends the restaurant website to the other party, so that they can do their homework and know the chef's resume and specialty. Dress must be reminded. You should pay attention to your image to show respect for people, so that you can appreciate every link carefully designed by others and feel the charm of Michelin-starred restaurant in all directions.
What's more, almost every waiter in Michelin-starred restaurants can communicate, explain to you, ask him to help hand over a thank-you card to Chef, and people will certainly come out to thank you in person. Aren't these manners their own gains? !

why Michelin? Is this not a tire? That's right, it's the logo of Michelin tire. In 19, Mr. Michelin, who made tires, published this booklet, introducing hotels, restaurants, car maintenance, etc., and advertising tires by the way. This booklet was mainly for drivers and passengers, and 35, copies were published in the first issue. Since then, a book has been published every year. I didn't expect that the greater the influence of this little red book, it was distributed all over Europe without too many teenagers, and almost included the top restaurants in Europe and America. It was not only regarded as a treasure by food lovers all over the world, but also became the lifelong pursuit of chefs, which also greatly affected the business performance of a dining room. One more star and one less star would bring about the growth or decline of millions of dollars in turnover.
why is it so awesome? This has to start from the beginning. At the beginning, the Michelin guide was free. Later, Mr. Michelin was a little angry when he saw someone using it to cushion the table. So he began to charge 7 francs for a book. If you don't advertise in the book, you have to earn money to support the editors. Then you must have excellent content, that is, the restaurant you recommend must be really good and rely on strict, fair and objective evaluation.
how did Michelin evaluate the restaurant? The Michelin guide only lists basic information such as address, telephone number, chef's name, basic consumption, etc., in addition to various "symbols". It was not until 2 that simple comments were added, unlike other similar guides, which were full of hype but full of mines.
▲ Michelin's general rating: Not all restaurants with "Michelin" are star-rated restaurants. Michelin guide is divided into general rating and star rating. Let's look at the general rating first: it is marked by the symbols "fork spoon", "BibGourmand" and "two coppers". Fork spoon: mainly refers to the comfort of dining environment. Five forks represent Luxury in the traditional style, and four represent Top classcomfort. Theory of Three Represents is Very comfo rtable.
Head: It means that this restaurant is an authentic small restaurant, with a little special meaning, providing good food and appropriate price.
two copper coins: called piecettes (small hard coins), and restaurants with this logo indicate that they provide simple meals not exceeding 16 euros.
▲ Michelin's star rating is different from the above general rating. The star rating focuses on food. For restaurants, of course, the dishes are the most important, so the importance of stars is much higher than that of forks. Take Paris as an example, Michelin refers to the South which contains nearly 6 restaurants, including 6 restaurants with one star, 15 restaurants with two stars and 1 restaurants with three stars. Many restaurants have Michelin signs posted outside their doors, which are only included (or recommended) by Michelin guides.
The criteria for star rating are: raw materials, blending of cooking standards and tastes, innovative ability, value for money and consistency of cooking standards. The highest honor a restaurant can get is three stars. The Michelin star marks a star: Very good Cooking, a very good restaurant in the same category, and a good restaurant worth stopping for. Two stars: Excellent Cooking, excellent dishes, first-rate cooking, excellent food and wine matching, it is worth a detour, but it costs a lot. Three stars: exceptional cuisine is an outstanding dish, and worth the journey deserves a special trip. At the same time, it also means "perfect and peak cooking, you can enjoy superb food, selected excellent table wine, zero-defect service and extremely elegant dining environment, but it costs a lot of money".
from the above, we can see that the first star depends mainly on the quality of the product, while the second and third stars contain more contents. The quality of restaurant service, decoration, table setting, tableware quality, the order of serving, and the size of the wine cellar should be considered.
Stars are awarded not only to restaurants but also to chefs: three stars are the ultimate goal of many chefs' lifelong struggle, which represents the highest recognition of cooking. Besides, owning Samsung can attract luxury guests from afar and earn more income with the fame of Michelin Samsung.
In addition, chefs who get a star can usually keep it as long as they maintain their existing level. But two-star or three-star chefs are hard to say. As long as they are found to be a little negligent, they will be delete. In particular, they are rated as three stars. Three stars not only symbolize "absolutely perfect food", but also refer to "chefs or restaurants that will not make any mistakes".
how to eat in Michelin restaurant? Catering has a lot to do with the taste of a population. No matter how authoritative Michelin's evaluation is, it is also the evaluation of others. Whether it conforms to your own taste or not, you have to taste it yourself. When you go to a Michelin-starred restaurant, you must first make a reservation. It is not possible to eat at any time you want, as short as three to five days, or as long as several months in advance. Things are better in the off-season of tourism. What about the quality of the dishes? As mentioned above, one star depends on food, and two stars and three stars depend on things other than food. Therefore, the delicacy of one star is often not less than that of two stars and three stars, but in addition to eating, you should also experience the highest quality food culture. You should go to Samsung, and the higher the star rating, the more exquisite it is.
Is there a Michelin restaurant in China? Michelin has also entered Asia since Michelin began to evaluate restaurants in Japan in 27. In 28, Michelin included Xianggang and Macau in the selection. Up to now, Michelin has not conducted a restaurant selection in Chinese mainland.
We often hear a restaurant in Beijing or Shanghai say that it is a Michelin restaurant, which should be a stunt of restaurant advertising. Some restaurants may be branches of a Michelin restaurant, or the chef used to work in a Michelin restaurant abroad. Strictly speaking, these are all fakes anyway.
