1 star- worth a stop
2 star- worth a detour
3 star- worth a journey

[Ricardo]

3 stars means you should drive to that restaurant even its not on your way to your location.

[zacharymoerder]

1 star worth going to if it's on your way
2 stars worth going out of your way for and
3 stars is worth making the entire trip just to go to

[forthewin]

It’s kinda crazy to think after all this time. Chefs devote their life’s to make the best restaurant possible, to get a star from a tire company

[Digitallyferal]

“Difficult to acquire award, human beings love that” never thought about it like that

[toninosparada]

Thats actually interesting, never would've guessed

[pas]

Michelin used to rate remote and far restaurants, making people use their tires more often, which drive up sales

[eliyarrows]

“Babe where should we eat”

“Idk, but there’s this new place down the road that this tire company seems to love”

“Ok let’s just go to chipotle if you aren’t gonna be serious”

Michelin also had a navigation website back in the day.
You'd fill in a start and end of your trip and they made you a printable map and a list of all moves during your trip.
My parents used it on every holiday back in the day.

“Cooking like a chef I’m a five star Michelin” 🎶🎶

[robinsoto]

Someone drops a napkin, they give you a handy

One Star - cops chasing you on foot
Two Star - cops chasing you on cars
Three Stars - cops chasing you with Heli
Four Stars - SWATs chasing you
Five Stars - Fbi chasing you

As Michelin said themselves: In theory, a one-star rating means, “a very good restaurant, ” two stars signify “excellent cooking that is worth a detour, ” and a three-star restaurant is one that offers “exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.”

Restaurant price after getting a star: 📈📈📈

[korniliosjs]

Let me just say that 1 Michelin star isn't just "great food", it's usually exceptional food, much better and way more expensive than restaurants most people are familiar with.

COOKING LIKE A CHEF IM A 5 STAR MICHELIN!!!!

The original story goes something like this...A Michelin tire salesman was traveling from state to state selling tires to garages in the pouring rain. He asked the shop owner if he knew of a place he could recommend for a nice hot meal. The owner could recommend a place but it was really out of the way. The salesman didn't mind and so he went. There he had the best meal of his life and would later recommend to his co workers that if they were ever in that city then they should stop by for a bite.

And so the michelin guide was born. What was once a guide passed around and shared among Michelin tire salesmen, became a world renowned guide for food excellence.

Those who are lucky enough to be awarded a Michelin star should be very proud of their accomplishment. The Michelin guide although started from humble beginnings has grown into a very serious guide indeed.

They say that it would be easier to catch a shooting star then to recieve all 3 Michelin stars. 😅

[michaelbushee]

Fun fact: no restaurant in the Dallas/Fort Worth area has so much as a single star because the Michelin guide doesn't consider the area worth covering. It's not just food and service, it's how much the tire company likes the city.

[blurontree]

He got the star ratings wrong. 1 star means restaurant its worth visiting if it’s in the area or on your way, 2 stars is worth making a diversion for, 3 stars is worth planning your whole trip around.
