Not long ago, a Korean company Michelin will be sued because he was not out of the tire quality problems, but because he operated restaurant has been listed as a Michelin recommended list ……
This is very strange, because many restaurants are usually recommended by Michelin to be proud of, too happy! Why as a restaurant chef, he would be so angry, even the Michelin court do? In order for us to better understand Korean chef who, we might first take a brief look at the rubber tire factory and restaurant is exactly how to link! During the
“Michelin Guide” (Michelin Guide) was born in 1900 in Paris Expo, when the Michelin tire company’s founder – Michelin brothers are very optimistic about the nascent traveling by car activities, so they collect maps, gas stations, hotels, car repair workshop and other message compilation of practical and easy to carry the manual and distributed free of charge to the customer to change a tire shop as they sell tires additional services. Surprisingly, their manuals are very popular, people traveling by car became standard.
Until 1920, the Michelin brothers accidentally discovered repair factory workers actually put their manuals used to pad legs, they began to realize that the manual is not being provided free of charge seriously. So they decided to provide free, instead officially published. Then, the “Michelin Guide” was officially born. “Guide” is divided into green travel guides, hotel and restaurant guides red. Among them, we are most familiar Michelin restaurant also used “★” divided grades.
★
1 star: Parking worth a taste of good restaurants (this narrative is of course because the Michelin tires are made of).
★★
2 stars: excellent cuisine, offers excellent food and wine matching, worth a detour, but the cost is not low.
★★★
3 stars: perfect and the culmination of cooking, worth a special trip, you can enjoy craft superb food, a good selection of table wines, zero missingPoint of service and very elegant.
-star criteria are such that Michelin will send “food detectives” in the case without the knowledge of the restaurant, on a regular basis to ordinary customers capacity to spend. They taste the dishes and other customers are exactly the same, easy to judge notary restaurant cuisine and service quality. However, because of the Michelin-called “fair and equitable” It attracted the South Korean chef Eo Yun-gwon dissatisfaction.
“You have not a moment to relax and wait for one does not know when it will come the test, chefs waste of time and money pursue Michelin-stars, they do not know what basis to evaluate. “
” Seoul has many restaurants and Michelin-star restaurants Top level similar or even higher, but they are ridiculous to think that only 170 Michelin restaurant representative of Seoul. “
it is learned that, Eo Yun-gwon this opened in Seoul’s Gangnam neighborhood (yes that is the rich man singing PSY PSY District) Italian restaurant called Ristorante Eo, as early as in 2017 and 2018 on a row was awarded a Michelin star restaurant. And since then, the chef gave it requested the deletion of the annual Michelin-mail recommend their restaurant.
but until this year, the store is again …… as Michelin restaurant chef and owner, Eo Yun-gwon completely angry, because he did not know his restaurant is based on what criteria recommended! This is an affront to the greatest chef in his eyes, so he is not so obsessed with stars like other chefs, but the Michelin reported a backhand.
“I know that was included in the” Michelin Guide “will make business better, but when I choose not asked for my consent, it does not respect me you want to delete own opinion, I do not need this organization to opaque and subjective ratings. “
As he puts it,” Michelin Guide “is like a” food Bible ” around the worldCook no matter how hard they try, perhaps his life can not get that star. Exactly when to begin, people began to Michelin rating is filled with superstition, we may not know, but as the name of Korea as chefs, perhaps a lot of people can not understand why a company can sell tires in the catering sector there is such a high voice.
At present, Eo Yun-gwon alleged violation of Michelin South Korea a law on “public insult” of the charges, once established, need to pay Michelin 500,000 to 3,000,000 won ( 3000-18000 yuan) in compensation. Compensation, while small, but according to the law, he must provide evidence of his Michelin insult to the court. Michelin can here and there is nothing insulting behavior, but said he has been in the restaurant food is very tasty …… This has also allowed the chef’s complaint was rejected again and again.
the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office to Eo Yun-gwon receipt
Thereafter, Eo Yun-gwon also published on his Facebook: “In order to protect the integrity of our industry free from all kinds of garbage critics attack, I will oppose the motion Michelin stick. “It seems he really keep up with Michelin” just “in the end the.
And this time I did talk to a Michelin restaurant, not a whim, after all, I, as a small series cars, Michelin’s focus on more still remain in the on the tire. But as a native Beijingers and there is no sense of superiority, not long ago I was Michelin released “Beijing Dining list” to the whole annoying. Man of few words said, I will take a look at what’s in the list.
Samsung’s new Wing Kee (Xinyuan South Road)
only a three-star restaurant, is located in the new source of Samsung’s new South Wing Kee.
Wulixiang two-star restaurant, King join
There are two two-star restaurant: namely Shanghai restaurant Wulixiang and Lama Temple vegetarian restaurant opened in King join.
There are 20 one-star restaurants: mining Yi Xuan (Beijing Four Seasons Hotel), Sui Wah House, Da Dong (Worker Road), Da Dong(Dongsishitiao), Family Li Imperial Cuisine (West), Fuchun home, Huaiyang government, IL Ristorante-Niko Romito, Hunan love (Worker Road), Beijing Ya-tang, the old Ji Tong, Lei Garden (Campbell Building ), Mio, pick up a long, all-Shichifuku, Sheng Yongxing (Chaoyang), Beijing kitchen, The Georg, new Wing Kee (Jianguomenwai street), new Wing Kee (financial street).
The list came out, Beijing People’s instantly explode. The reason is not the list in the bombing of a restaurant is not good, but because the list was nothing authentic Beijing cuisine. In my personal example, in addition to King join and Da Dong, a Beijing citizen as I did not eat a. And I have the impression that these two restaurants are also just stay in the “very good environment” of Level, did not feel how good it is, it does not reflect the characteristics of the “Beijing food”.
Since then, there are people gave this statement – “Michelin Guide Beijing does not mean that these elected restaurant will certainly meet the taste Pekingese or Chinese taste, it needs for all diners the world.”
That being the case I would like to ask, if I travel to Italy, booked several months in advance Michelin-recommended restaurant, full of joy waiting for months to fly ten hours, the result of a fall to see is Chinese food, I have not made a kung pao chicken fried mom’s authentic, it’s not that I did not have to busy doing?
In addition, the network also voice said, “If you want to eat authentic, you can use certain reviews ah!” I have read the gas laughed, recharge the behavior of those businesses on the app so serious, anyway, I every time I go review the recommended number one restaurant basically do not have a good food, but also a huge number of people, compared to a friend or a place to be ideal.
In fact, the commentary Michelin star way has been suffering from doubt, a former French Michelin with a confident French tongue goods all over the world, but refuses to say no comment star rule. This has also allowed Italy, Spain, the Nordic chefs feel disgusted with it. Previously there is known on almost netizens By comparison: in 2018 as many of Samsung’s Rome Italian Restaurants and Hong Kong, while Samsung restaurants in Paris even further than Shanghai.
to take this easy to see that Michelin might think Italian food is delicious than in Rome, Hong Kong, Paris, Shanghai, Chinese food is also delicious than …… I really look black question mark ……

gourmet Chua Lam position for Michelin 
and even more unpleasant is that many restaurants boarded the Michelin list will be added to the rent the landlord. If the Hong Kong restaurant like the “Michelin Guide”, the landlord will add at least three percent of the rent, I just found a point of information for everyone to see.
in June 2012, is located in Sai Yeung Choi Street South’s “Good Mong Kok Noodle House” head office, was forced to close down after the landlord plus five percent of the rent, leaving only the same district two branches.
in December 2012, “Tim Ho Wan” Inga rent, forced to move from the street, the mall.
in August 2014, “A hung snacks”, originally a star rating, the rating was won landlord rent Liucheng graduation.
in December 2015, Michelin-recommended 23 Hong Kong Street Food in Tsuen Wan Chuen Lung Street, Cheung Hing Kee Shanghai fried package, posted “Goodbye” notices, refers rent by owner, forced relocation.
In addition, because there are many cooks Michelin also feel the pressure. Like the legendary French chef Loiseau, after billions of dollars borrowed from banks to expand the restaurant, because there are rumors that he might lose Samsung’s rating was afraid to commit suicide, while in the Michelin guide after he committed suicide four days, his restaurant still maintains a three-star. Think of a chef for a tire brand to death, which indeed did not.
deeply grieved rice – Stephen Chow’s “Iron Chef.” 
It has been said, so we began to tangle Michelin success in following the Nobel Academy and the third foreign titles. But after all, “delicious, delicious” This is very subjective depending on the person being evaluated can only eat. To give a simple example: Michelin taster if you do not eat green onions, then your Scallions lamb no matter how authentic the list can not become a Michelin recommended dishes. Fujian people like to eat grilled rat, Cantonese love to eat, like Fujian, and you do not dare eat which, naturally, can not review the Lao Shurou and Fujian which is more delicious. (Cite only a jokeExample)
Therefore, you are not able to evaluate the personal tastes of the world cuisine, with France as the Michelin tongue to taste the cuisine of China, which is perhaps the Chinese people have nothing valuable.
think of this, I suddenly felt at the beginning of this article chef Korea’s behavior is not wrong. Therefore, I would say, since to do gourmet guides, the whole point of it is better to local characteristics, can only eat local food to Michelin; if it wants ratings, put the rating criteria to be listed in your mouth a spade what it is talk about reference and authority?
you will go to Beijing-star Michelin restaurant do?
