I always thought that Michelin was like a prestigious international society of food critics but they’re a fucking tyre manufacturer.
I like how they were like “well there aren’t many cars around so to get them to buy more tires let’s publish a tour guide to France so people travel more and use up their tires.”
Over time they started to incorporate restaurants worth visiting on their tours and even sent out anonymous inspectors to gather information to rate them and now over 100 years later they made a notoriously grumpy world renowned chef cry because his restaurant lost two stars in a rating system that two dudes made up to sell more tires.
They became a world renowned food criticism magazine on accident?????
I THOUGHT THEY WERE DIFFERENT COMPANIES WITH THE SAME NAME WHAT THE FUCK
Apparently the guiness book of world records is the same? Its just the beer company. They were making a book of pub trivia for people to enjoy while drinking and it just. Went out of control.
