Note to self: ask what the waiter suggests, take photos of food and pretend to write notes on your phone and the chef will think you are from Michelin

It never occurred to me but I may have accidentally tricked a few restaurants into thinking I'm a Michelin inspector.

Key criteria: consistency in visits

Also: inspectors never visit twice.

For me mcdonalds is worth a detour, or even a special journey. They have the mcrib all year in germany, and i live in a neighboring country, an hour from the border. Ive went down there just to do some shopping and get a mcrib.

Ive always thought of myself as a food inspector since i was small😂i would ask my parents to get me the most popular food at what ever new place we ate at and i would judge it from 1 to 10 and recommend it to friends and family members😂years forward now im just a fat shiet with food pics on instagram😅

What started out as a restaurant guide for motorist on the road, is now listing restaurants that are unaffordable for most motorist or just regular people on the road. Times do change.

As a butcherer, it hurts my eye to watch the first few seconds, where he uses a saw to cut the bone AND meat.
The proper way to do it is to use a knife on to cut the meat all the way to the bone, and then use the saw to just cut the bone.
Knife slices the meat fibers, a saw pulls, stretches and grinds them. Not a big deal, but still hurts my eyes
