Agree 100%. It would be nice if people stopped taking the Michelin Guide as gospel. Gauging a city based on how many stars a rubber company in France has decided to bestow is a little nauseating.

There, fixed it for you. ;)

EDIT: The Michelin Guide is quite honestly, just an alternative advertising method. They may have started out with good motivations, but at this point they are well aware of their ability to make-or-break and use that to their advantage. It's damn near extortion in some cases.

So it's no different than some social media influencers threatening to leave bad reviews if the restaurants don't comp their meals, except in Michelin's case the restaurants give the reviewers money instead of comping the meals.

The Michelin Guide has over a hundred and twenty years of history behind it, global reach and certainly far more weight than a social media personality. The latter are just modern day versions of newspaper reviewers, rarely relevant or noticed outside of their home city (let alone country).

Noma isn’t known worldwide because of visitors, social media reviews or location. It’s because of Michelin.

I was referring to the link you sent. If the allegation is true, that's a black mark on Michelin and if the practice (bribery) is widespread, in my eyes they're no better than the influencers, regardless of their illustrious and long history.
