It's interesting that high star restaurants are expected to not serve more common ingredients. I went to Manresa in Los Gatos once. Very good but I felt that I was being filled with bread (which was divine) between courses but would have preferred to see what they could do with chicken as a cheap filler instead. Now I have some idea why they would not use it as a filler dish.
I also find that if a place like Oaxaca has no Michelin stared restaurants, the Michelin guide is limited to a kind of food and not necessarily the best food the world has to offer. Though I am probably overly partial to mole in it's various forms...
- enjo 11y agoIn order to win a star, Michelin has to produce a guide for the area. There are only three cities in the United States that have a guide (I believe: San Francisco, Chicago, and New York). So you won't find a michelin starred restaurant in New Orleans for instance, which sort of undermines the prestige of the whole thing. There are many many great restaurants in the world that are not Michelin eligible, which is a real shame.
