My first inclination is "Why doesn't he just ignore Michelin" but then I realize that a poor ranking in Michelin could do real damage to his business beyond the segment of his guests that is aware of Michelin ratings.
Thanks for the translation by the way.
- Grue3 9y agoPretty sure you can't have a "poor Michelin ranking". The restaurants that are judged poorly are not included in the listing at all.
- molf 9y agoBeing stripped of a star sends a very strong signal that the restaurant/chef is in decline. It will certainly be harmful for their reputation and business.
- ousta 9y agothats not the point. for a three stars loosing a star is loosing money which means loosing quality, you can't afford to pay top notch cooks, they leave, you loose more quality, you have to lower your price, you buy cheaper products, you loose quality...
- mcv 9y agoBut instead, he wants to lose all three stars? There's undeniably something irrational about his request. If he's willing to lose stars to get rid of the pressure, he can simply ignore the judges.
- nyandaber 9y agoBecause it would be much easier to ignore the pressure put by random and secret food inspections if those inspections don't even exist at all. To get and keep 3 stars over more than 10 years require to be overconscious, so even if he wants to ignore the ranking he might not be able to.
- yitchelle 9y agoBut he is cooks food that no-one eats, his business will still suffer also.
