What is Michelin star rating and Miami Michelin star restaurants that just got rated?
Have you ever wondered why every restaurant and chef in the world wants to be Michelin star rated? What is a Michelin star rating? How can you get them and how many restaurants in Miami have a Michelin star?
The Michelin star restaurant rating is one of the most prestigious accomplishment in the hospitality industry. Only few thousand eateries in the world have ever had the honor to get one. It’s given every year as a part of the Michelin guide.
In the early 1900’s the growth of the car production and general public usage was growing exponentially, that few other industries connected to car production branched out very soon. One of them was the production of tires. Yes, you guessed it right, the Michelin guide was created by the Michelin company that produces tires.
In order to boost usage and expand the sales of tires, Andre Michelin and his brother Edouard Michelin created the Michelin Guide. It was inspiring people to travel outside of their city and use their cars more often. The first print was came out in 35000 copies and was given for free, intentionally, to boost the popularity. The guide contained information on popular eateries and restaurants, but also recommendations on hotels, mechanics and gas stations.
After a short break, because of the 1st World War, in 1926, a substantial change happened as they started giving out stars. The guide was not free anymore. Every restaurant that got the star was described as “Fine dining experience”. In 1931 the ratings went to 3 stars. You might wonder what do the stars represent?
The Michelin star restaurants ratings go in this order:
1 star means – High quality cooking, worth a stop if you are in the city
2 stars means – Excellent cuisine and worth a detour to eat in the restaurant
3 stars means – Exceptional cuisine and worth a trip to the city just to try the restaurant.
The important thing is that chefs and owners never know, when and who will come to review them. It’s a well kept secret. The anonymous reviewers will show up when you least expect it. Also, once earned star, can also be lost if the quality of criteria is not accomplished in full.
