why is the origin so important? Surely the important thing is that they are comprehensive and make astute judgements... or at least moreso than any competing guide.

They wanted to incentivise car-driving (and thereby increase tyre sales) so started finding the best restaurants around the country and giving away a guide so people would drive to them.

puff pastry, beef tenderloin, and just enough shallots, mushroom and thyme to pretend you're actually getting some sort of vitamin. Worst case, that's it, beef with savoury stuff wrapped in mostly crispy stuff. Best case: you get some sort of shallot crepe or cured ham to keep it from getting soggy.

>In 2007 Tokyo's restaurants were awarded with the most stars and in 2010 other Japanese cities like Kyoto and Osaka also received many stars. At the time this sparked questions from some over whether these high ratings were merited for Japanese restaurants, or whether the Michelin guide was too generous in giving out stars to gain an acceptance with Japanese customers and to enable the parent tyre-selling company to market itself in Japan.
It's all marketing for Michelin, they'll give lip service to countries they think they can sell tires. France similarly is a circlejerk of shitty meme chefs like Paul Bocuse
