At the beginning, Michelin restaurant used stars to indicate the level of the restaurant, but with the continuous development, it began to replace the original stars with forks and spoons, because it would be more vivid and representative to use forks and spoons to symbolize the level of the restaurant. In the west, we all know that they are used to using forks and spoons, so the combination of forks and spoons will be more vivid when eating. If Michelin's star rating is related to a China person, not a westerner, I think it is very likely that Michelin will use our chopsticks.
Michelin is not only good at making tires, but also good at rating restaurants. Now there are more than 60 Michelin restaurants all over the world. Yes, there are only so many restaurants, because all the restaurants that can be rated as Michelin have been selected. But I think the selection of Michelin restaurants in China is unfair, because they are judged according to western food standards. Who can say that Chongqing's hot pot is not delicious? There are too many local specialties, such as Hui Mian here, which I think is delicious in China, but there is no Michelin restaurant in mainland China, because it is not exquisite enough to meet the appetite of westerners.
In China, only coastal cities have Michelin restaurants. For a restaurant, judging Michelin is the best excuse to raise prices. Because it is Michelin, it is normal to spend 3000-4000 yuan for a meal. I have seen Michelin restaurants broadcast live by some food bloggers. I have to say that it looks attractive, and the comments of food bloggers are good, but the shortcomings are also obvious. Expensive, light weight. The god of sushi? Although it is not a Michelin restaurant now, it is not only necessary to make an appointment in advance to eat a meal at his place, but also it costs tens of thousands of yuan to eat a meal, including the fame he brought when he was in Michelin restaurant.
Michelin's spork, I think, is a culture of Michelin restaurants. People who know it will know at a glance that it is a Michelin restaurant and it is genuine, instead of fooling consumers like some restaurants.
