Restaurants are back, all on the terrace! After drooling over Top Chef, it's the opportunity to go and try new dishes for real and, why not, treat yourself by trying a starred restaurant? Every year, it's the same stress for chefs: between young people who dream of winning their first star, and renowned chefs who hope to keep theirs, the announcement of the Michelin Guide is the prestigious gala in the world of gastronomy. But behind this race for stars synonymous with prestige, more and more critics are rising up against the famous Michelin Guide, the reference book of gastronomy. Drop in sales, chefs who want to give back their stars, harsh criticism of the new management, the Michelin guide is going through a difficult period, to the point that some are predicting its death in the coming years. The most famous rebel is of course Marc Veyrat, a leading chef in France, who trained seven chefs who then became triple-starred. Despite this impressive CV and unanimous recognition in all the other guides, the Savoyard chef's restaurant has lost a star. An incomprehensible decision for Marc Veyrat, who fell into depression and sued the guide. He no longer wants to be listed. And he is not the only one: in our country, some restaurateurs like Karen Keygnaert have left the race for stars. Because the prestige of the star is nothing compared to the stress for chefs: contrary to what one might believe, 2 stars are not doing well in our country. In 2018, half recorded net losses. Worse, if the restaurant loses a star, it risks bankruptcy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ????
