Michelin Stars The Madness of Perfection

The Michelin Guides are a series of guide books that have been published by the French tyre company Michelin since 1904. The Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments. The acquisition or loss of a star can have dramatic effects on the success of a restaurant.
As we all know, aMichelin star is the ultimate hallmark of culinary excellence. Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants judged to be of a particularly high standard. Eateries that make the grade can be awarded one, two, or three stars, and the accolade is much-coveted by chefs around the world.
Speaking about record holders, Chef Yoshihiro Murata is the only chef in the world to hold seven Michelin stars. He is world-renowned for redefining and promoting Japanese cuisine and he regularly mentors the world’s best chefs like René Redzepi and Heston Blumenthal on Japanese cuisine and ‘umami’ – ‘the fifth taste’.
Fun fact: Gordon Ramsey has been awarded 16 Michelin stars throughout his career. But he currently holds seven.
