It was made up specifically to encourage people to go on roadtrips and (by extension) buy more Michelin tires.
I’m not even joking.

Isn’t every price or award kinda made up?

Like Guinness deciding on world records, just because their managing director got into an argument on what was the fastest game bird in Europe on a shoot.

NGL I’ve *considered* going for working at Michelin restaurants but the more I was in kitchens, the more I read about them, the less interested I became 😂 I would buy the books from the chefs but where I’m at now, I’m good on wanting to jump into one

If you ever want to get really drunk, take a shot every time a contestant on Chopped says “Michelin”

Reminds me of the Wine Spectator points scale.
95-100 Classic: a great wine 90-94 Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style 85-89 Very good: a wine with special qualities 80-84 Good: a solid, well-made wine 75-79 Mediocre: a drinkable wine that may have minor flaws 50-74 Not recommended
Wines cannot score below 50. You are wine? At least 50 points. Which skews the entire system!!
I don’t give a fuck about wine points, but was hysterical when I learned that.
