Not places to eat, places to drive to, so people would buy more tyres.
Michelin actually does have red guides for restaurants and hotels, and also green guides for cities, regions, and countries.
Wait till they hear about the people who keep track of world records
literally the crystallization of drunk guys goin “Hey y’all, watch this!”
When I was in France I went to the Michelin museum that was all about the history of rubber production. Not even once did they mention how and where rubber was harvested and the brutal slavery.
Fuck Michelin, racist fucks.
King Leopold II got into the colonialism game a bit later than some of the other players, but the people of the Congo gave him a hand in quickly catching up and surpassing the others in being a massive piece of shit.
Normally I don’t like explaining jokes, but I think knowing is more important than the shitty joke in this case, but that fucker’s regime started a habit of cutting off hands for failing to meet production quotas for rubber in the Congo.
And maybe surpassing is overstating it, since Britain and Spain at least were engaging more in genocide than forced labour of the natives, then they just shipped in African slaves for the labour.
And I’m only leaving France and the Dutch off that list because I’m not familiar with the specifics of how they did colonialism, though I am aware of Haiti, a French colony until the only successful slave revolt that I’m aware of happened there, so that doesn’t look very promising for them.
As a chef, your highest honor is to earn a star from a tire company. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Sorry, but it just doesn’t.
Cuisinart and Calphalon should start producing car reviews.
I don’t understand why people find this to be so confusing. Especially considering it’s not a new thing, what’s so baffling about a program to encourage tourism in smaller towns and adoption of cars?
While Dove Bar ice cream and Dove Bar soap are not the same (or weren’t, mergers could have screwed that up)
That’s the closest near miss in trademark collisions I can think of, other than when McDonald’s moves into some small country, there’s been a restaurant called McDees there since the 50’s, McDonald’s sues and then loses all trademark rights in that nation.
*recommending places to drive to.
But I like the way they put it, as a travel guide/tire company
1 star: “High-quality cooking, worth a stop”
2 star: “Excellent cooking, worth a detour”
3 star : “Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”
Don’t sleep on the Bib Gourmand list, basically the Michelin “Honorable Mentions”, recently awarded to 3 Philly cheesesteak jawns during their first excursion to the city… super cute name origin here too: The term “Bib Gourmand” comes from Bibendum (the Michelin Man’s official name)

There’s a bbq place down the street from me with one of those and honestly it’s one of the worst BBQ places I’ve ever had and was really expensive too. I definitely don’t know how they received a great value award. Makes me think it’s just a paid for award.
Yeah, Michelin stars tend to screw over the restaurant in a few ways, sadly. 40% close a year after getting a star. A few reasons are listed in this article. https://time.com/article/2026/09/14/the-high-cost-of-winning-a-michelin-star/
It’s French though lol
Yeah idk I’m waiting for the Yokohama star restaurants
Yokohama 20 inch dubs on my food truck. 😎
Best you’ll get is Kumho
They were also really good maps.
It’s literally to make you drive more.
You get fucked up pretty easily.
