What It's Like to Be a MICHELIN Guide Inspector 

Imagine being a premier chef at one of the best restaurants in the world, and your business lives and dies on the word of a tire company.

‘I don’t need Michelin and they don’t need me. They sell tires, I sell food.’ -Marco Pierre White

The real reason the Michelin man has so many rolls

Note to self: ask what the waiter suggests, take photos of food and pretend to write notes on your phone and the chef will think you are from Michelin

‘Draws little attention as possible’ Puts fork on the floor

so basically these restaurants just needs to make sure they are on their absolute A game for a guest that dines table for one, asks few questions, orders 3 courses...

That apple dessert looks insane.

what a job, eating like a king and awarding stars for your hard work of eating, meanwhile the restaurant owners exploding with stress lmao

It never occurred to me but I may have accidentally tricked a few restaurants into thinking I'm a Michelin inspector.

Key criteria: consistency in visits Also: inspectors never visit twice.

The Video: Explaining how complicated and secret the job as a Michelin Inspector is Me: Mind-blown that the Apple at 1:35 isn’t an Apple...

Secret Michelin Reviewer: "I'd like some clear , fresh, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that"

so basically its the freemason but for culinary

All this stuff about them being super secret... but caller ID outed them 2 hen they were booking reservation at Gordon Ramsey place years ago. Reservation for 1 at his London restaurant for that night from a Paris number. Led him to calling the number back and it being their god damn headquarters.

What started out as a restaurant guide for motorist on the road, is now listing restaurants that are unaffordable for most motorist or just regular people on the road. Times do change.

No wonder there was a fork at the flor at the taco stand where I work.

let me know please where do i eat the apple dessert at 1:35-56.

in which 3 michelin star restaurant do you get the option to choose 1 entree 1 main and 1 dessert

"Maybe even learn how butter is made" Its a sad day when inspector with 6+ years of experience as chef don't know how butter is made.

imagine having a contract stating that you have to eat out in fancy resturaunts literally every day

Ive always thought of myself as a food inspector since i was small😂i would ask my parents to get me the most popular food at what ever new place we ate at and i would judge it from 1 to 10 and recommend it to friends and family members😂years forward now im just a fat shiet with food pics on instagram😅

For me mcdonalds is worth a detour, or even a special journey. They have the mcrib all year in germany, and i live in a neighboring country, an hour from the border. Ive went down there just to do some shopping and get a mcrib.

Now that would be a job I would work overtime for!

This all wonderfully mysterious, but largely untrue. Muchelin has been quite transparent in who they are what their numbers are. There is a 150 inspectors worldwide, and rather than pretend their anonymous, they leave a business card with you after visiting so you know you've been judged. This is to avoid restaurants that are one or two stars and not gaining another from complaining if they were actually reviewed or not. The Former CEO has stated publically that people believe each eatery is judged many times and once upon a time they were. That is no longer the case. In his words, all three stars get judged less than once a year unless they have been given reason to suspect their standard has diminished. Two stars get judged every year. One stars can be judged yearly, but most often they are judged every second year. It is only in France that all eateries are judged yearly. Its only two stars that have made a deep effort that have reached three that might be judged 2-3 times in a year to verify they're worth upgrading.

As a butcherer, it hurts my eye to watch the first few seconds, where he uses a saw to cut the bone AND meat. The proper way to do it is to use a knife on to cut the meat all the way to the bone, and then use the saw to just cut the bone. Knife slices the meat fibers, a saw pulls, stretches and grinds them. Not a big deal, but still hurts my eyes

man,all of those intense reviews should be tiring

Marco Pierre is the name that comes to my mind when watching this video.

how do i sign up for this job?

this would be such an awesome career path

WHERE DO I APPLY

I will take this job in a heartbeat.

What has tires got to do with food I don't get it unless you eat in one of ramsays restaurants

This sounds like a dream job wth I love to eat food so this is sum good shit

What was that food with sugar egg-yolk?

Seems like a nice job tbh especially if they are traveling and eating high-class food all the time on the company's dime.

I finally know the meaning of each star ratings

Why is this vertical?

In Los Angeles County, about half of all Michelin starred restaurants are Asian owned and themed.

Yeah I never really thought of it like that, but I guess you can't eat at a star tier place every day because it will dampen the experience. But also you have to go to a decent amount so that you can maintain consistency in your ratings, like if you go to a whole bunch of 1 star places and go to a place a tier above and give it 2 stars.

How to apply to be a part of this job... My dream job....

Where can I apply?

You guys know that over used gigs Chad face? It’s him!!! He’s right there!!!!!

I wonder What standards of a country to receive the evaluation from the Michelin Guide? Thank you

“Not one Michelin inspector in the world knows more about food than me, so why do I need to be judged by people who have less knowledge than me?” - Marco Pierre White

How does one apply to a tire company to judge food establishments?

"what they order" a lot of the time they don't. tasting menus make up the bulk of the 3 star restaurants and there's no ordering.

Today I learned Michelin stuff associated with restaurants and food is actually related to the tyre brand

Tires?

the profession with the most taste 😋

Not every restaurant that has a star or more is highclass. It is highclass in its own categorie.

Would love this job

so my question is how do i get a JOB as a MICHELIN Guide Inspector, mostly in it so i can eat free food as it probably will be paid by MICHELIN.

sounds like a fun job

5:10 yeah just gimme paint and glue spread on a table

My favourite meal is Street Pilot 4's

Kind of interesting how they reviewed Hawker Chan's food as: 1) it is considered 'street food' 2) it is located in a public area [hawker centre]

That's it I feel ready for the job

This dude is so handsome. Hands down. Never seen a more attractive man. I'm angry because I'm jealous af and also a little scared because I have a crush on him

cool

I thought they mean like a tire inspector lol

I wonder how they can always manage to get reservations.

Their job is to eat. 🤔 I like it. Where can I sign up?

TELL ME WHY MY ASS NEVER KNEW IT WAS THE FUCKING MICHELIN MAN THAT TELLS US WHERE THE FIRE FOOD IS?????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m not meet the requirements to be an inspector but just take me along I wanna eat and travel the world. 😂

Bruh this is like the CIA or FBI, but gourmet level

Cant even get a tire🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: Placing the fork on the floor is such a well known "Michelin trick" that if you do it at almost any establishment and the staff notices you doing it, you'll receive the best service that establishment can offer ;)

I want to be a Michelin inspector

shouldn't you guys be making tires

I get hungry just watching.

Why only order appetisers and entrées? Why no mains?

I’ve never looked in a Michelin book or website to find a restaurant

This is my dream job.

👍

"Table for one asks what to suggest, probably an inspector"

This sounds like it came straight from an anime lmao.

how much do Michelin Guide Inspectors gain every year?

What a job that would be sign me up seriously

Why not visit restaurants worldwide? Why only 28 cities?

"Hello, welcome to Laverne's Tires, Michelin Stars Awarded Also."

damn i wanna be a inspector

me a badass rolling on my pirrelli tyres going to a michelin star restaurant

What's so great about impressing a Tire company w/ food?

This is the plot of a Dhar Man video waiting to happen

WHERE DO I SGIN UP

I visited a 1 star Michelin restaurant in the Hong Kong airport years ago, and it was honestly not that special. Maybe at +2 stars that's when it actually becomes good.

The Michelin Inspector.. Is *the* Michelin Man

I'll cover San Francisco for you guys.

its like assassin's creed of culinary world

Just found out that Michelin tires and Michelin stars is the same

Do inspectors always dine alone? I’d have thought that in itself would be a dead giveaway no?

There's several michelin star restaurants in LA, but they really aren't that great. I visited Providence before they got a Star and it was fantastic, then they got a 2 star and I never went back due to the so called foodies which don't know food overbooking the place because they got 2 star. So sad... lol

Dream job

1:46 "I don’t want to be judged by people who have less knowledge than me." ~ Marco Pierre White

my dream, one day

Me eating a frozen pizza while watching this

you're making tires but inspection foods?

Never, in a month of Sundays, will a Michelin inspector ask the waiter, "What do you suggest?"

I want an AskReddit of a Michelin man.

omg Its been years the shot of Hawker Chan at 4:00 & 4:27 took me straight back ❤
