A rundown for your readers on what a Michelin Star is ...
The term "Michelin Star" is a hallmark of fine dining quality and restaurants around the world proudly promote their Michelin Star status. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay cried when the Michelin Guide stripped the stars from his New York restaurant, calling the food "erratic." Ramsay explained that losing the stars was like "losing a girlfriend."
Of course, the hilarious part of all this is that this prestigious restaurant rating is from a tire company. The same Michelin that sells tires also hands out restaurant ratings.

Michelin has a long history of reviewing restaurants. In 1900, the Michelin tire company launched its first guidebook to encourage road tripping in France. In 1926, it started sending out anonymous restaurant reviewers to try restaurants.

To this day, Michelin relies entirely on its full-time staff of anonymous restaurant reviewers. The anonymous reviewers generally are very passionate about food, have a good eye for detail, and have a great taste memory to recall and compare types of foods. A reviewer has said that they must be a "chameleon" who can blend in with all of their surroundings, to appear as if they are an ordinary consumer...

Michelin awards 0 to 3 stars on the basis of the anonymous reviews. The reviewers concentrate on the quality, mastery of technique, personality and consistency of the food, in making the reviews. They do not look at interior decor, table setting, or service quality in awarding stars, though the guide shows forks and spoons which describes how fancy or casual a restaurant may be. (If you're interested in looking at a reviewing company that looks at ambiance and decor, try the Forbes reviews which look at over 800 criteria, such as whether the restaurant offers solid or hollow ice cubes, freshly squeezed or canned orange juice and valet parking or self-parking)

Thanks Harry and NG.
Not taking anything away from Luke, but, I won a putting competition once. I'd never played golf in my life and took out the big guns. It happened on Dunk Island in the early 90's.
To illustrate the calibre of the competition the first prize was a bottle of Midori and a six pack of xxxx

Well ad say that was a great feat myself, well done to you.

Harry.
