Origins and Evolution: The Story of the Michelin Guide
The Michelin Guide originated in France in 1889 when brothers Andre and Edouard Michelin created a guidebook to encourage automobile use. In 1926, the guide introduced its star system with anonymous inspectors evaluating restaurants. Over time, it evolved into "a global benchmark for culinary excellence."
The Michelin Star System and Selection Criteria
Restaurants receive one, two, or three stars:
- 1 star = high quality cooking that is worth a stop

- 3 stars = exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey
Inspectors assess restaurants based on:
- The quality of ingredients
- The mastery of flavor and cooking techniques
- The skill of the chef
