The Michelin Guide North America

************* REVIEW 275 ****************
The MICHELIN guide was first published in 1900, in France. From a small booklet of 400 pages red guide distributed free to motorists to make their travels easier and more enjoyable, sort of like what we have here with California AAA, EXCEPT this is for the HAUTE CUISINE!
Their inspector anonymously visit a restaurant again, again, & again! I’ve been a fan religiously, obsessively follow Michelin Guide forever as long as when my Dad taught me about it. Then 2006 when they first came to NYC, the first guide ever, I’ve been obsessively dine at these establishments from all the US 3 stars, then do down from the list.
They have been to New York every year since, then San Francisco, Los Angeles, then Las Vegas, then now Chicago.
I’ve been follow many chefs & to see their restos got recommend or earn a rising star, it makes me happy! I know strange right?
Many of my friends disagree with this guide & in fact many think these places are too over price. I beg to differ, it has its own class!
How guys like their toys as Ferrari, Lamborghini?
How ladies enjoy Chanel, Balenciaga, Chloe, Dior, Hermes?
How one can appreciate a bottle Château Margaux, Latour, Haute-​Brion, Palmer, Petreus or Lafite-​Rothschild?
How the collectors would only choose a few of Patek Philippe, A. Lange & Sohne, Girard-​Perregaux, Audemars Piguet, or Breguets?
So enough said! I wonder how did I go before my dad taught me this rating? That’s right James Beard Foundation Awards!
My parents & I have been enjoy our experience tremendously with the Michelin Guide. We are lucky to have the palette to begin with!
Congratulations to all rising stars & new comers, especially today was the released of 2011 NYC, congrats to chef Michael White for Marea & Chef Georges Mendes for Aldea.
I’m so looking forward to San Francisco release & the Chicago release soon!
