Quite quiet.

>>6059131
It means he's filthy rich and incredibly successful. But of course none of that matters in the real world :^]

>>6059133
>It means he's filthy rich and incredibly successful
Yep. From television.
Stop star worshiping. It's boring.

>>6059135
>michelin stars are from television

I don't even own a television and I've eaten at ramsay restaurants. Stop being so resentful of successful people.

>>6059135
I'm not the person you were replying to though, i'm someone else laughing at your obvious stupidity. He made a shit ton of money from television because he had the resume to give himself the credibility needed to do so well.

But the fact that you dont realise how much money he'll have made from the michelin stars without everything else just shows how little you know and deems you unworthy of discussion with. Have fun living in your bitter world of envy.

>>6059139
TV chefs don't impress me.
And you have your television locked on the food network, liar.

>>6059139
>I don't even own a television
Wow fascinating. How many times do you bring this up in conversations daily?

>and I've eaten at ramsay restaurants.
Sure you have. Describe the idiosyncrasy that is included on all receipts from his restaurants as of 2005. If not, you've never been.

>>6059142
>how much money he'll have made from the michelin stars without everything else
The naivety abounds right here.

>>6059145

>If not, you've never been.

or he just didn't notice/remember it

i've eaten there and i don't remember what it was

plus that seems eminently googleable

>>6059147
Confirmed butthurt child.

>>6059145

It only really comes up if someone wants to talk about game of thrones or whatever. Why are you getting defensive?

Also, I ate at a gordon ramsey restaurant in dubai in the mid 2000s, I didn't look at the receipt because it would have been rude.

>>6059131
>14 Michelin stars means nothing for a professional chef

You're right m8, Bob who runs the burger van in the lay-by on the A1 is just as talented as Michel Roux Jr.

>>6059170
I sad in the real 'world', retard.

>>6059172
>People don't exist in the real world.

Are you for real?

>>6059130
Michelin stars have the same credibility as a Gone Home review on Polygon

>>6059175
>Michelin stars do not have credibility

Keep going, you're seriously entertaining.

>>6059174
So you take a grammaticalerrror and use it to belittle a completely different argument? Well doesnt that make you look le smart.

>>6059177
I just came here from /v/, fagwad. Also fuck your pop cooks and their pathetic tire company ratings

>hurr here's a smear and a one-inch celery stalk boiled in tortured duck fat
>$5000 and one michelin star please

>>6059182
No I take the breathtakingly stupid argument that "Michelin stars don't count in the real world" and mock the poster for saying such a stupid fucking thing.

>>6059187
>tortured duck fat

Ahh, he's a vegan guys. This literally explains everything.

>>6059187
>I just came here from /v/, fagwad.

Then could you fuck off back to your containment board?

>>6059170
Hey....
fuck off

>>6059209
You, you, you, you, you, you, FUCK OFF.
OP is back, noobs.

>>6059195
Feeling right at home here, with the paid reviews, michelin stars handed out for anything but culinary quality, pop cooks, etc etc. It's like gaming journalism: food edition.

>>6059224
Food journalist here.

What you say is true for Michelin, but not for US journalism. That cult of French weaboos is hardly relevant anymore.

Honestly I look at Forbes diamonds as more telling of quality.

OP here, guys don't rage over michelin stars and magazines, I just want your best quotes from the Lord Gordon :'D Here's another one:

Fucking YelpGate

>>6059224
Explains why the place down the road that serves Chinese BBQ roast meats with rice has a star. Certainly, it is because they bribed their way through and because the guy who owns it is a TV personality!

>>6059261
>killing yourself over a star sticker

>>6059275
Good detective work agent

>caring about francocentric shallow presentation before quality bullshit

No wonder that the kings of bad tasting food articistally arranged, have so many starred restaurants

This thread reeks of /v/ and /tv/. Fuck off out my kitchen.

Laughed way too hard at this

>>6059498
>muh coin-sized "steak" on a sauce smear

>>6059614
Typically those restaurants will involve a tasting menu of 6 or 7 dishes (at least). It's not like you're just ordering the steak.

>>6058886

"You muppet!"

To anyone skeptical of Michelin stars and the quality of chefs like Gordon Ramsay: work in the food industry. Study gastronomy. Watch how real chefs perform their craft. Read books like Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential". Watch Ramsay's "Boiling Point".

>>6059187

Openly admitting that you're from /v/ while displaying an abominable level of ignorance...displays an even more abominable level of ignorance.

I'll tell you this: you will NOT get an accurate impression of Ramsay just from watching his American shows. And while his Cooking Course videos reveal a good portion of his knowledge and competence in gastronomy, they won't tell you EVERYTHING that he knows. This is because they feature more conventional recipes; they won't feature actual haute cuisine.

Becoming a proper head chef takes years of study, work, and experience. And the Michelin star system respects that. Any high-class restaurant that is serious about becoming recognized and successful must strive for these stars. Getting even one star is an achievement; getting all three, AND maintaining those three for an extended period of time, is the height of culinary success. It means that you are one of the best. It means that you know how to run a kitchen, how to run a staff of highly-skilled chefs who crank out actual gourmet food constantly throughout the day, how to taste the difference between sole and escolar, and a variety of other things. So before you denigrate someone like Ramsay, fucking know what you are talking about. Or fuck off and go back to your Doritos and Mountain Dew.

You are truly a moron.

Ignorance is one thing. But to make the conscious decision to REFUSE to learn is sheer, absolute stupidity.

>>6059882

>Means nothing in the real world, m8

In the real world, it means booked out for months at your restaurant where you can charge $200 for a meal.

Who the fuck are you, anyway?

>Michelin starred restaurants are literally McDonalds for rich plebs

Good luck finding authentic local cuisine at McMichelin

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2012/11/whats-wrong-with-the-michelin-guide

100% true

i think it's fair to say that the michelin guide, flawed or not, is not something virtually anyone on 4chan can talk about with authority. none of us have been to more than a handful of restaurants with 2 or more stars and we don't have a great deal of information about those restaurants did to get their stars.

i've worked in a one star restaurant and we made absolutely delicious food that wasn't absurdly expensive. the anxiety and nerves surrounding the possibility of a second star made it very clear to me that any form of bribery was not a part of the equation.

i've also eaten at a couple of three star places and while subjectively the food wasn't necessarily better than where i worked, the service and level of consistency was very clearly of the highest standard. if you look at the criteria for 3 stars, it makes sense that a lot of these places earn them.

>>6059811
You could say the same thing about any trade or science subject

>>6059811

>all you need to do to be a successful chef is to cook well

i hope youre trolling

Confirmed for never having stepped foot outside of McDonalds.
