@stevefenton this is literally it though. The stars meant something approximately like. *. Worth popping by if you're in the area ** worth goin out of your way for *** worth planning a road trip for
(in a slightly more serious vein) that Michelin Star has some of the same qualities as an NFT. It's nothing really physical, and its only value is what other people ascribe to it. Its 'status.' Other than that, it's utterly worthless.
NFT style scams have been with us since well before the tulips. Magic beans...minus the beans.
Evolved from a guide for (French) motorists, first published in 1900, recommending hotels, repair shops and then, yes, also restaurants throughout the country. Very useful, used to enjoy an excellent reputation.
We were at a restaurant when my younger sister saw their Michelin star rating with the Michelin Man on it and asked if it was a joke. It is a little crazy to think this award dates back 120 years to when owning a car was like owning a yacht today.
As I’ve always imagined it, once upon a time a tire company wanted to give people a reason to drive their cars more. Such as going out to visit restaurants.
For years, I've tried not to resemble that White Tire Icon. Yet, they are doing reviews of restaurants. No wonder America has the weight issues where the French walk everywhere and eat better?
