Topic: Matt did you see the news about some unhinged French chef suing Michelin because he lost a star?

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/24/world/europe/marc-veyrat-maison-des-bois-michelin-guide.htmlI particularly like this argument about cheddar cheese:
Mr. Veyrat — who hails from the Savoie region in the French Alps, which is famous for fragrant cheeses like Reblochon or Beaufort — felt particularly insulted that, in his telling, a Michelin inspector who ordered a soufflé had mistaken a saffron-infused emulsion for Cheddar, “because it was yellow.”
“And you call that knowing the terroir!” he said. “That’s just crazy.”

> Michelin stars bring prestige but also intense pressure to chefs, some of whom have committed suicide. In recent years, some chefs have even asked for their stars to be removed, citing the psychological or financial burden of maintaining their rating.
Holy crap.
Holy crap.

I think, honestly, he's a good food writer when he wants to be and I think he is motivated this time. Whether or not the business model of a Zagat/Michelin guide for Kunming will succeed financially is anyone's guess.

@previous (D)
Let's be reasonable, here. It's 2019. Pretty much everybody, Francophiles included, agrees that France could do with a quick little wash in nuclear fire. Have you been to Paris recently?
