It depends on the place aye.
Michelin stars are given for excelling at a type of cuisine, but are borne from an old school francocentrism although are very rapidly making up for it with the stars awarded for super modern styles and techniques
There is no combining thread beyond being judged as excellent by some of the most studious and highly regarded critics in the world, and this is why you can more generally expect stuff such as:
Meticulously arranged dining space
Highly professional and informed FOH staff, and an appropriately curated drinks list
Dishes plated like artworks, composed of complimentary textures and flavours in ways as yet unused, and/or perfected to ridiculous degrees
To give you an idea of this last point, I have worked under chefs who could differentiate between pastas made an hour apart, and would refuse to serve one.

TFL is one of the most amazing kitchens on the planet, and an inspiration for myself and many an aspiring chef around the world. One bloody day…

Whereabouts? Position and specialisation?

Yes, and only a small portion of the vast number of chefs that dedicate their lives to cuisine ever will. What makes you think you can?

This depends, once you get into the Michelin tier of things, the economies are skewed toward making sure everything is exactly as the chef intends, so you spend a lot of monies researching and on highly specialised tasks, as well as the setting itself
