No it means its overpriced and you should just stop at the 1 star or even 0 star restaurant along your path and the food will arguably be better for the money spent
I mean there’s 2 more. I guess that’s, 4 is worth going across the country for and 5 is another country but they don’t have the same “standards” as we do
It sounds crazy but the argument I've heard is that they are the most trustworthy food critics because their focus is selling tires, not food reviews. Where every other critic rely on the reviews profits
@@jgregg7100 that makes great sense, not everything in this world has an ulterior motive. Sometimes we just want to recognize greatness in the most authentic way.
Well it’s just evolved. It grew into a secret society that has extensive backgrounds in the restaurant industry and then has to be double-triple checked by others. I went to 3-star Addison (San Diego) on their first night receiving their 3rd Michelin star. There are dishes I still dream about to this day. Simply mind blowing.
Coming from a wealthy man, Michelin stars are WAY overrated. I've gotten $30 meals that are better than $250 ones. Spend your money wisely and don't buy into it. These places are just filled with rich snobs trying to impress their dates.
You think that's interesting, look up chef Marco Pierre White, youngest at the time 3 star winning Michelin chef. He returned them after realizing you bust your ass to impress people that know less than you. Had Gordon Ramsey as an apprentice before he got big.
This is an interesting take, and considering everything around us is all marketing, advertising, and bullsh*t... is probably true. Do you have an example?
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.
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.”
“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”
I don't believe in Michelin stars. Restaurants striving to get top ratings from a tire company and people using a tire company as a restaurant guide is a bizarre concept.
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
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.
And it's usually money involved. The Michelin guide started reviewing places in Atlanta (I think it was Atlanta?) Because the city paid them to visit. Don't get me wrong, being in the Michelin guide is still a big accomplishment but there's so many great places that aren't in there
@@Alex-ox7fmi mean isn't it kinda obvious there's money involved? Why would michelin spend money reviewing restaurants if they dont make money off of it?
Interestingly enough, they just started giving out stars to Texas this year! Not sure how much they mean though, I’m seeing stars given out to barbecue restaurants which shows a deplorable lack of standards. I love barbecue, I think it’s one of God’s gifts to food, but a Michelin Star? Sorry, there’s more to it than that.
I heard it was to sell more tires by increasing the wear and that 1 meant go if you see it, 2 meant plan it in your trip, and 3 is plan your trip around it.
That's actually not what happened. Why are people so confident while being wrong? It originated from internal handbooks for sales representatives so while they were traveling selling tires they knew where to stop.
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.
Angela hartnett (Michelin starred chef mentored by Gordon Ramsay) described 1 star as excellent food served consistently well . 2 stars is excellent food and service with an identifyable style. 3 stars the Michelin star critics would know it's your food if blindfolded (ie your style is so recognisable and standout as outstanding as an experience.
Having worked at a Micheline star restaurant, most people don’t understand the level of commitment it takes to work at that restaurant, that being said, you’re under paid & overworked, so don’t ever settle to your employers just due to the fact that they are receiving an award
you had shitty management and a staff mentality of not sticking up for yourself. I dated a girl who was a cook and she made good money from Khali in LA.
He was wrong.. They started it because people didnt drive enough to wear out the tires, they saw their revenue going down drastically, so... they started this star rating to get people out to drive more therefore wearing down tires therefore buying tires
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.
The star rating/ guide book was created to not only encourage auto travel in Europe as automobiles were still fairly new in the world. The guide served much more practical purposes, mechanic locations, gas/service stations, instruction manuals for working on vehicles, list of hotels, and restaurants. With the development of towns, cities, and roadways, the need for that information became individualized, but having a guide that was already established in great restaurant recommendations left the Michelin guide as the the premier source for such information.
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. 😅
I think there’s a business lesson to be learnt here, both in diversifying one’s marketing as well as how to successfully recognise the value to society of prestige and quality. This could have easily been a motel quality food guide with little value, but their dedication to reserving that highest prestige of 3 stars for only the absolute finest, ensured that their guide actually meant something to the culinary world - which is about the furthest world away from the tyre industry.. It’s really a story about the value of ‘excellence’ and then commercialising around that idea of “defining excellence”.
It's like how the Guinness Book of Records was started after the Managing Director of Guinness Breweries missed a shot at a bird during a hunting party and got into an argument over if he'd missed his shot at the fastest or second fastest game bird in Europe, only to realise they couldn't find any reference to settle the argument. So they made one.
been at 2 different one star restaurants. One the appetizer was best thing I ever tasted. The other had the best fired chicken and the best waffle ever. Not saying starred restaurants are the only great ones, that being said if you get a star you are best at what your cooking niche is.
@@u13erfitz I eat at Michelin recommended places all the time as there are so many where I live. I’m not sure if there is a stared one here but a tone of recommended ones. Always such amazing food.
1 - some bloke who doesn’t know how to cook judged your restaurant 2 - some bloke who doesn’t know how to cook judged your restaurant 3 - some bloke who doesn’t know how to cook judged your restaurant
Also worth noting that at the point that the guide was made, the kind of people who had motorcars were wealthy, and this had a big effect on the types of restaurants considered ‘good’ restaurants. Value for money was definitely not a consideration hahah
Because back then everybody was using public transport and they don’t want to wear down their tires so the company made a guide and rated places where public transport doesn’t go
@@tylermassey5431 he’s right kiddo… I don’t know about the PT part, but cars/tires weren’t used that often so not a lot of tires got sold. So this made people want to drive to these locations for the experience, and that would wear down the tire requiring them to buy a new set way quicker.
The Guinness World Records began with the Guinness beer company attempting to gather as many facts as possible into a single book that could be used to solve bar arguments.
@@AdemirZX That’s not true, there are a ton in the US. I worked in a restaurant that had a “secret” two michelin star restaurant that was set up in the back prep kitchen and was transformed into a kitchen a couple of nights a week. Anyway, I was curious about how many michelin starred restaurants there were just in NYC and it turns out there’s a lot! It’s really hard just to get that one Michelin star, let alone two or three. I don’t think what Josh said is correct about how it’s rated, 2 stars isn’t for good service, but he got this gist of it!
Even getting one star you have to have an immaculate service and food. Two and three stars are juts taking that to the extreme. Not a single particle out of place on the plate. Super high end service staff- amazing decor and design and then obviously an absolutely supreme menu and usually the people that get three stars are the ones really pushing the limits on stuff.
The michelin guide book for europe actually played an important role during WW2 as book and maps within had been recorded just before the nazis began building the war machine so they were those most up to date. Combine that with most tourist stops in foreign nations include things like: Land marks, goverment buildings, hotels, and important streets. It contained all the info needed for allied soldiers to navigate the cities of europe during the invasion.
I feel like the Michelin guide used to be a book with some solid high end restaurant recommendations, now it’s gotten so competitive to the point where 3 star restaurants have insane unheard of dishes and 23 course meals and all sorts of weird gimmicks and theatrical elements, and it cost hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars per person
I saw on another video that Michelin at the time were mostly making their profit on truck tires. However, the tires were to efficient and would last too long. So the marketing company made the book to get drivers to go out of their route, and use their tires more. Nowadays Michelin stars have been given to so many restaurants that it doesn’t hold the value it use to have, and there is very little rules for when it comes to removing them when the service is no longer what it was.
what’s not mentioned is that Michelin created this guide because of the new automobile branch that just started to develop, so as to attract more people and because there were no signs of where to go, how long it would take, and what was around they created this guide to help motorist and make their experience more pleasant
Fun fact Michelin was the first company to use stars as a rating system but didn't copyright or trademark it. That's the reason for the 5 star rating system being so ubiquitous!
That is not how a trademark or copyright works 🤣. Sure you can register "michelin" or the "star" in various NICE classification on all jurisdiction but what kind of goods or service does that star traded in? The idea of making quantifiable quality grading also does not really fulfill the novelty test of a simple patent. Also, copyrights only cover musical, artistic, literary, and program coding works, hence wrong IP protection regime.
It has a lot to do with where the restaurant is situated too. Like a restaurant in small area in a small country with 1 star could have had 3 stars in another place (paris)
It wasn’t for stopping on your trip or for truck drivers. They had a business problem. People didn’t drive enough so they went to good restaurants in the country side and rated the food so people would drive out to them, wear out their tires and have to buy more.
nope it was a way for them to sell more tires. since poeple would havd to drive there and pass by a garage or gas station that would use this brand of tires. over time the catalogue of restaurants and bistros became more important due to tourisme especially in European countries like France and Belgium. And like said a Michelin star became something really meaningfull with time. iirc the Michelin guide started after WWII.
It wasn’t for “stops along the way” they needed to sell more tires. In order to sell more they needed people to drive more. So they made the Michelin Star to get people to go out more, not have pit stops.
Close. It started for truck drivers when they had to eat, when they where out on the road, so a map where made for them to know where to get food and how good the food was.
There’s a great breakdown in another video that you all should look for. In essence this made sense because back in the day any sort of vehicle (before cars were invented and then widespread) was going to be an insane amount of money to buy and upkeep. So actually your tire company would be an incredibly fancy place similar for example to a luxury brand for pianos today.
For along time i really think this Michelin title for great chef is come from company that sell tires but still doesn't make sense, and you just telling my thoughts is right all along?!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The more complete version of the story is that they started it around the 1920s as cars were just coming out and not many people could afford them after the war so the lucky ones who could didn’t drive long distances as cities weren’t as big as they are now so to sell more tyres they made a list of restaurants that were a must see experience for the wealthy, promoting road trips to wear them down
I have been in hospitality business my wole life..... so pretty much everything you said is true ,BUT,,, two stars dose not mean service,,,,, service has nothing to do with michelin stars , the stars are rated only on the food ...NOT THE DECOR OR THE SERVICE only the food.
oui c'est exactement ça, mais faut se rappeler que lorsque ça a été crée, il n'y avait ni internet ni réseaux sociaux, les gens avaient des cartes dans leurs voitures (carte routière michelin) et pouvait donc se rendre et trouver de bons restaurants en france
I will say my family has been in the tire business since the 70s and Michelin tires are the absolute best money can buy. There is no tire on the road better, in all aspects. Ride, wear, handling etc..
Michelin were restuarants on the outskirts of cities so you had to drive long distances to get there and you would use your tires more and therefore buy more michelin tires.
1 star being the equivalent to just good food might be in the US. In Spain I went the other day to a 1 star, less than 100 bucks per person btw, and you can get similar great food without the star. However the differentiating factor is the service and and techniques used.

It has a lot to do with where the restaurant is situated too. Like a restaurant in small area in a small country with 1 star could have had 3 stars in another place (paris)
Not always. There are tons of 2 and 3 star restaurants in the middle of no where...
They also demand money from the restaurant. Ive seen it happen.
They literally wanted like $250,000/year.
The owner declined.
I thought he was gonna be like nah I'm just playing
It wasn’t for stopping on your trip or for truck drivers. They had a business problem. People didn’t drive enough so they went to good restaurants in the country side and rated the food so people would drive out to them, wear out their tires and have to buy more.
It’s a French company that had a rating system to let French travelers know where to visit
I always thought the names of the tire company and the stars was just a coincidence and thought it be weird for them to actually be related
nope it was a way for them to sell more tires.
since poeple would havd to drive there and pass by a garage or gas station that would use this brand of tires.
over time the catalogue of restaurants and bistros became more important due to tourisme especially in European countries like France and Belgium.
And like said a Michelin star became something really meaningfull with time.
iirc the Michelin guide started after WWII.

STAY spotted
It wasn’t for “stops along the way” they needed to sell more tires. In order to sell more they needed people to drive more. So they made the Michelin Star to get people to go out more, not have pit stops.
Restaurants should make a star system for rating tires and give Michelin 3 stars, because they truly are the best tires.
Three stars is when you clash within a certain amount of time with your clan
Close. It started for truck drivers when they had to eat, when they where out on the road, so a map where made for them to know where to get food and how good the food was.
There’s a great breakdown in another video that you all should look for. In essence this made sense because back in the day any sort of vehicle (before cars were invented and then widespread) was going to be an insane amount of money to buy and upkeep. So actually your tire company would be an incredibly fancy place similar for example to a luxury brand for pianos today.
1 star- a lot of money
2 star- even more money
3 star - astronomical amounts of money
For along time i really think this Michelin title for great chef is come from company that sell tires but still doesn't make sense, and you just telling my thoughts is right all along?!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The more complete version of the story is that they started it around the 1920s as cars were just coming out and not many people could afford them after the war so the lucky ones who could didn’t drive long distances as cities weren’t as big as they are now so to sell more tyres they made a list of restaurants that were a must see experience for the wealthy, promoting road trips to wear them down

It is exactly like how a beer company decides what a world record is
I'm here to watch all the experts tell them how they are wrong and what's the correct story. It'll be so many different explanations
Nah man. I don’t think anyone would deny that it comes from michelin
They actaully started out by favouring very far from the city areas, so people would put more wear on their tires. Smart shit.
😮
1 star - you can afford it
2 star - you need a big of savings
3 star - you need to win a lottery
I don't know anyone personally who can afford a one star
@@joebarton4947there are some food stall that have 1 star, i think the channel "Great big story" covered it years ago.
True, except the dropping the napkin part. When you read the Michelin guide they are very clear that they rate a restaurant on the food only.
That’s why I don’t leave my food decisions to a tire company…..😂
Yeah, just the most talented chefs in the world work all their lives for even one star and even commit suicide over them. But you do you.

I have been in hospitality business my wole life..... so pretty much everything you said is true ,BUT,,, two stars dose not mean service,,,,, service has nothing to do with michelin stars , the stars are rated only on the food ...NOT THE DECOR OR THE SERVICE only the food.
oui c'est exactement ça, mais faut se rappeler que lorsque ça a été crée, il n'y avait ni internet ni réseaux sociaux, les gens avaient des cartes dans leurs voitures (carte routière michelin) et pouvait donc se rendre et trouver de bons restaurants en france

I dunno what is up with this comment but I've seen it on like 4 videos now. I wonder if it's bots trying to age their accounts for more spam...
I will say my family has been in the tire business since the 70s and Michelin tires are the absolute best money can buy. There is no tire on the road better, in all aspects. Ride, wear, handling etc..

How many stars has the Waffle House got
They gave stops where you could get the tyres replaced, it evolved to places to eat
Michelin were restuarants on the outskirts of cities so you had to drive long distances to get there and you would use your tires more and therefore buy more michelin tires.
Lol why did my brain not add those two together already?!lol
Guinness Book of Records is the same
Actually, the beginning of guide michelin was to recommend truck drivers that went on long trips where they should stop at and eat :)
I thought the stars were relative to distance worthy of a trip to the establishment.
They also favour French quinine’s
And Felix is so good he's a 5 star Michelin
This is the most calm version of Joshua Weissman...
Awesome! Thanks!
Just a brillant ruse to sell more tires. That was the whole idea.
1 star being the equivalent to just good food might be in the US. In Spain I went the other day to a 1 star, less than 100 bucks per person btw, and you can get similar great food without the star. However the differentiating factor is the service and and techniques used.
Very succinctly explained. 3 Stars also require tasteful interiors, high-quality glass- and silverware, etc.
