Chinese skepticism of the Michelin Guide reached an unprecedented peak after the first edition of the Beijing Michelin Guide was released.
On this list released on November 28, a total of 23 restaurants in Beijing successfully picked stars, including one Samsung restaurant and two stars. “It’s over, why is it that Beijing is a gourmet desert in the future?” Someone teased.
Like the previous Michelin Guides in Shanghai and Guangzhou, this list did not please locals. The reasons for Beijing people’s dissatisfaction are similar to those of Shanghainese and Guangzhou who dismissed “Michelin does not understand Shanghai / Cantonese cuisine”. XXX does n’t deserve one star “and” XXX can get two stars? ”
Not only that, Beijing, which has always been regarded as a gourmet black hole and has been at the bottom of the national food despise chain for a long time, has been able to name 23 restaurants on the list, which makes the majority of Beibei people think they may have gone to a fake Beijing, all over the country The place that claims to be a city of food also feels offended. At least 11 star-rated restaurants. Last year, the first edition of Guangzhou, which did not even have a two-star, Samsung, should slowly put a question mark.
“Guangzhou: Michelin gourmet desert.” Someone mocked.
Reminiscent of the Michelin’s “Bibidden Restaurant” list (ie, the civilian version of Michelin) a few days ago, it included soy sauce, marinated food and other heavy taste foods. The impression is that the topic of the majority of netizens has also risen from “Beijing is not equipped with Michelin” to the spit of Beijing food.
Being faced with the whole network group ridicule that followed, Beijingers are certainly not happy. Beijing snacks can only be understood by Beijing talents. The most authentic fried noodles and braised noodles must be their own.What do you make of soy sauce, such as “peer cream and my honey”, does it mean that it is dark food?
In a word, the Michelin list in Beijing offends the people of the whole country. Why did Michelin’s “Food Bible” suddenly fail?
Why do so many people scold Michelin?
In fact, Michelin ’s “centralized” approach, which is experienced by organizational experts on the spot and graded item by item, is already an alternative to this era. It is even outdated. Do n’t believe it. Nowadays, when you talk about eating, traveling, When shopping, do you open public reviews, TripAdvisor, even Zhihu, Xiaohongshu to read other people’s reviews, or open a “ten restaurants”, “a must-visit spot in life” selected by a certain network or magazine?
