About a dozen one star and a handful of 2 star but never 3. Tbh most of the one stars weren't particularly outstanding. I've eaten at plenty of non-Michelin restaurants that deserved it more than the 1-stars I've eaten at

>>13112753
Yea, one down the road from me it's a bistro. They serve burgers, bacon and eggs. Not that expensive either, well it's not cheap but it's not as expensive as people make these places out to be.

>>13112753
No one worth their salt gives a fuck about Michelin stars

>>13112753
No.

no but i ate you're mom last night LOL gotem

>>13112803
cope harder poorfag

the chefs certainly care

>>13112753
I've eaten at Alinea in Chicago. It's good but not even remotely worth the price and unsurprisingly you don't get enough food to fill you up. Michelin star restaurants don't live up to the hype or the price imo.

I did once in France, it was the best

>>13112753
Multiple times.

"It's Ok I Guess."

>>13112803
>No one without a Michelin star gives a fuck about Michelin stars
FIFY

The James Beard award, however, is absolutely meaningless.

>>13112892
>not getting the prei fixe with at least 7 courses

I've eaten at a couple in NYC, notably Peter Luger. I ate at Mesa Grill in Las Vegas after it lost its star. Does that count?

>>13112892
I was beyond stuffed when I ate there.

>>13112765
Do tell, how pricey is a one star place? And did you have to reserve far in advance?

>>13112979
They really get up there but I suppose it depends on what you order. Dont go for a dinner of two unless you're ready to drop $300 for a cocktail, a bottle of wine and a couple appetizers and main courses. I guess it depends where you go tho. My recommendation is to either save it for a special occasion (I might go for birthdays/ anniversaries/when I'm on vacation) or find a less expensive place with equally good food.

Many Michelin star restaurants are outstanding, some are just okay and not worth it for the price, but they're all expensive.

>>13112753
Yes.

>>13112979
Check if the place serves lunch. It's usually much cheaper. I did it when I was a student.

The Michelin guide also give out Bib Gourmand which are cheaper but still serves excellent food.

>>13112753
I can't remember the last time I went to any kind of restaurant

>eating at a fucking tire company canteen

>>13112856
Not the good ones

>>13112922
So by your logic they're both meaningless. Fair enough

>>13112753
The food at michelin restaurants always tastes like tire rubber to me.

>>13112753
don't have any in australia.

>arbitrary bullshit ratings
>sour rice with fish scraps hole gets three stars
>retards still fall for what is basically a manipulative attempt by a tire company to get people to drive long distances

>>13113358
it's not arbitrary, the openly only go for French places and occasionally Japanese. Everyone else can get fucked with a tire

>>13112753
this one trys too hard to be charismatic, not a fan.

>>13113358
found the poorfag

Uhhh one star? That literally means it sucks, that’s a negative review dumbass

El Bulli is dead. I'd only go to Alinea is the only restaurant I'd bother with, or the vietnamese cart lady.

>>13113419
>goes to michelin restaurants to take pictures with a contract iFone to show instagram how "rich" she is

Laff, the truly rich know what actually tastes good

>>13112753
I have. Went on a tour in Japan, went out for breakfast with another one of the people on the tour and when we got there he let me know it was a 2* place. It was pretty nice

>>13112753
Yes, three stars for free, in France. Thank God my boss paid for it. It was fucking expensive.

A two star while on vacation. The food was very good but not nearly the best I've eaten, the service was on a level unto itself. A restaurant near me was given a star recently, so I'm looking to go there too and see how the two of them compare..

>>13112753
I've dined at a Michelin place,everything tasted like rubber.

>>13112753
If I had more money I would definitely try one! But if I'm going to celebrate with a nice meal, I would rather select the ingredients myself and prepare something beyond my normal difficulty level since I love to cook.

>>13113618
>I love to cook
I don't know how you got here, but run anon, run far away from this board

>>13113506
>what actually tastes good
rich people eat fast food out of convince and price, if they actually want good food they have their own chief

ate at Pierre Gagnaire's 3 star in Paris with my gf about 10 years ago

ordered the tasting menu, and one course both of us thought was disgusting and we barely touched it. After the waiter took it back to the kitchen, he shortly brought out a totally new dish the chef had come up with. Rest of the meal was amongst the best i've had.

At the end of the meal, the chef came out. It was Gagnaire himself in charge that evening, he actually apologised for the course, we were very embarrassed.

I've also eaten at Robuchon in Macau twice, one meal was actually very disappointing. And Lecture Room Sketch in London which got it's 3rd star this year, incredible food.

The difference between 2 and 3 star restaurants is negligible in my opinion, but the gap between 1 and 2 is very noticeable

>>13113419
Found the faggot. You stupid ignorant queer. Nobody but stupid ass bitches and instathots give two shits what restaurant costs the most. Go post it on your subrebbit.

>>13114001
Oof found the super poorfag lmao

No but the girl in the OP gets no stars her eyes are too far apart.

>>13112753
No but I have Michelin tires on my Honda Civic. Maybe when you're done running your mouth you can go shine them for me.

>>13113692
native american food isn't very good either

what does a fucking tire brand have to do with food? retard

I have only because DC is trying to open fancy joints and bribe for the cert or has a chef who worked as sous chef in one as their lead.

>>13112753
Bouchon and the French laundry

>>13113696
I once heard that the third star has more to do with the way you run your restaurant while the first two are gained by the food

>>13113506
Politics aside, eating a happy meal on your private jet is like....

>>13112753
no as i am not an homosexual

>>13113506
>launch food
what is this? does macdonalds have a special line of airplane food

>>13115579
maybe they do at the airport McDonals

>>13112856
If they cared enough they would use larger bribes.

Shibumi in LA. Love that place.
I'm not made of money, so I stick to Bib Gourmand joints otherwise.

>>13113696
What was is you disliked? Was it just an ingredient both of you really dislike in any dish containing it?

Went to Disfrutar in April, it was fun.

>>13114770
based

>>13113599
This anon gets it. The food is good to great but the stars are full experiencce so most of the points come from incredible wait staff.

Sure, loads. Don't seek them out or anything, but I like good restaurants, and many good restaurants have stars. Only been to three 3* though. Frantzen, Araki and Arzak.

>>13115150
Underrated post

i have been to at least 90 3 star restaurants and not a single one has been better than mcdonalds

>>13117958
>doubt

>>13112753
Mmm, yes. The smell of flatulence wafts through my nose. Let me roll the piss around on my palate a bit. Sophisticatedly bitter.

>>13112753
>Endorsed by a tire brand

>>13113506
>the truly rich know what actually tastes good
yeah, like well done steak with ketchup

Commis in Oakland. Two stars. I think it was 100 dollars when I went there. Right now it's 175. Maybe I'm misremembering. Anyways, it was a sublime experience.
