One old chef i worked with explained it like this when i asked about the difference. As a green new culinary student. “You go to a Michelin Restaurant for the experience and to feed your eyes, you go to a Mom and Pop restaurant to feed the soul.” -Chef Michel LaBorne

Omg yes good point! I do love fine dining but I’m all for the noodle bowls I can make at home 🤤

[Ash_Wen-li]

Fine Dining is more for experiencing creativity, flavours and textures you would never normally experience. Or super high quality and rare food. But deliciousness doesn't necessarily scale off price and you don't need to spend an exorbitant amount of money for a good ass meal

Also, the Michelin Star system is kinda irrelevant. I've had Michelin Meals ranging from $15-$200

When homie said “or get yourself TWO Popeyes chicken sandwiches” my soul felt that.

I was in Hong Kong 2 years ago. I was really hyped to go to this Michelin Star Dim Sum Place, Tim Ho Wan.
It was good. But the random Dim Sum Place i walked into by accident on my first night there remains one of the best restaurants I’ve ever eaten at, and the best one I had while in Hong Kong.
TLDR Michelin is great, but don’t expect it to change your life.

Sounds just like, "don't go buying a Mercedes or a BMW, I would recommend a Toyota"

[Woozlewuzzleable]

It's good for a special occasion like a birthday but I don't feel comfortable at fancy restaurants, I'd rather eat at a hole in the wall. The more money I spend then the hungrier I leave and I have to devour a pint of Ben and Jerry's afterwards.

We typicly eat at a local restaurant that serves traditional german kitchen. You get a full belly, it's cozy af and you won't leave this place sober as they brew their own beer so it's everything I rly need tbh

[onyxcoc]

It’s definitely creative and is cooked by people who view food from a multidimensional perspective. A treat for all the senses. Often the company you keep during the experience makes puts it over the top.

I thought the same until I tried the French Laundry and the creativity of Thomas Keller’s dishes actually changed my whole perspective on food. If theres one experience to try in your lifetime, its there.

I like fancy restaurants and all, love the place I work at, but not everything that makes a restaurant expensive makes the food per se better. I work making fancy ass burgers but guess what, the place just around the corner from my house makes burgers that are just as tasty for a third of the price, and they don't even make their own pickles. Now is the whole experience better at the place I work at? Yes, you sit at a nice comfy chair, listen to music, get treated well, you can even get martinis, while at the place around my corner you get the burger out of a trailer and sit at a plastic stool. Fancy restaurants are an experience, not just food.

If you go out and plan on eating 300$+ per person in a single restaurant, getting a full belly is literally the last thing one expects. You pay for the ambience, the service, professional employees, chefs with lifetime's worth of training and ingredients reserved for the finest of foods. Just measuring a restaurant by looking at how much food you get per Dollar isn't fair - Fastfood would win this everytime

Went to a place not far from me in the UK. At that time it was rated as the best restaurant in the UK. Had a 16 course taster menu. One of the courses was basically a cheese milkshake with a raw egg in it. It was awful. Most of the people in there were sitting around pretending it was culinary magic. It wasn’t. It was very emperors new clothes.

Alton Brown said it best "People eat crap, and a lot of it"
I guess most ppl are just used to a chicken sandwich as the best dish in the world.

[fabe]

I think things reach another level when you hit two and three Michelin stars. It’s food as an art and it’s often stupidly delicious. I’ve been fortunate enough to eat at a couple of the best restaurants in the U.K. and I’ve had dishes that were so good they changed my understanding of what certain foods or ingredients could even taste like. It’s a different ball park to the world of single Michelin stars where a lot of restaurants are as you say here, serving tasty food with heightened service. In the U.K. there are a fair few Michelin star restaurants that aren’t very dissimilar from any other good restaurant of the classic British French style.

Personally, I’d take a meal from my local Indian restaurant any day of the week, and turn down offers to go to Michelin starred places for my birthday to instead just get a good Thai takeout. I think if you’re paying $300 per person at a restaurant with only one star, then they’re either due another one or they’re taking you for a bit of a ride. Good food and good service in a nice setting costs money, but it doesn’t mean that fine dining is immune from (or should ever be) pretentious.

I feel lucky to be born to a thai mum as I ate good food early on in life, and now I'm making it as a job. I always wanted my own place to make night market style food, using local ingredients (I live in the UK) along with food that goes well with beer and rice whisky. I already figured out what thai dish to sell to people that isnt well known, cheap to make, really fucking tasty and filling

[domerecipient]

I think thats the case for 2-3 star restaurants, but in some areas you can get a single michelin star for just having really good food and nice plating

[scorpioninpink]

Eating in a fine dining is not to fill your belly but you do it for the experience. If you just want to fill up your belly then yes, eat at Del Taco or McDonald's.

[murphine]

You’re 100% right about Thai food, I found a spot recently that’s insanely good…I find now that anything is a waste of time and money.

[radarpinki]

Well, the Michelin places I have been to focuses on unique food with bold flavors and top quality fresh food, so I can definitely say that flavor is also top notch. Like using the Norwegian coastal fishes in adapted nigiri, or like another one, using sea urchin along with lobster foam and microgreens. It's very interesting
