Have you ever been to a Michelin Star or award winning restaurant?

Was the price worth it?
>>
>>8585559
Yes, plenty. Total waste of money, I'd rather dine at my local McDonalds then go to any Michelin starred restaurant.

He said he was a michelin star chef not an Italian man.

Yes.
No.

It was good, don't get me wrong, but it was about 3x what I'd expect to pay for than what I actually got.

If you're not shitposting as I highly suspect you are, please enlighten me on what you find so repellent about Michelin starred restaurants. Culinary pretension notwithstanding, there is solid merit in holding your food to a high standard of quality; you are what you eat, after all.

I've been to a Michelin-starred restaurants in Chicago. It was more of an interesting experience than an "omg this tastes so good" kind of experience.
>>
>>8585559
>Have you ever been to a Michelin Star or award winning restaurant?
yes
Was the price worth it?
Yes, but only because it was free.
>>
>>8586138
The restaurant was called Wing Lei. It's at The Wynn in Las Vegas, and the casino comped the meal. Food was good, but it didn't blow me away.

I've been to The Inn at little washington, which was recently awarded 2 Michelin stars, however I ate there 2-3 years ago before they were awarded the star (it wasn't awarded before simply because Michelin only picked this past year to come to Washington DC)

Good food for sure, certainly not "worth" the price in terms of what you're getting in raw ingredients, but it is a good step above pretty much any restaurant most of us will dine in. Everything is obviously fresh and prepared for you, good flavors from what I was having, but menu changes constantly.

For two of us I think we dropped ~$570 including drinks and tip.
>>
>>8585570
>"Worth it" is a loaded question.
This. The only times I've had a disappointing experience at a Michelin starred joint was just before those places lost a star. Tom Colicchio's Craft was notable for this in 2006.

Bottom line is that if you take the whole restaurant experience into account the Michelin guide is usually a decent standard. If you only care about the food and are willing to dispense with plating, decor, service and the wine list you can eat as well in most cosmopolitan cities for an order of magnitude less than places with Michelin stars. But the cheaper places might not cater to the expectations of your haute bourgeois associates. That's why the Guide is still relevant.

What is /ck/'s thoughts on this guy?

Seems like a case of diminishing returns, something that is a product of nature and human hands can only be so close to perfect, and this man has put aside much of his life for that pursuit. It's interesting to me that some could call him a dedicated artist while others might see him as an obsessive egomaniac.

I went to the French Laundry with my girlfriend at the time and it was amazing.

Everything was beyond perfect.

The attention to detail was insane. Everything is scrutinized.

I've been to some one and two star places in NYC
1 star: Breslin, casa mono, del posto, jewel bako, semilla, nomad,
2 star: aska, aquavit, ko (3 times), Soto

Some were more worth it than others. My fiancé and I live relatively frugally so this is what we enjoy doing. If you like food the restaurants are always fun and interesting experiences than anything else. I thought the food at ko and del posto was the best, while the sushi bars were cool but slightly unsatisfyig and the Nordic ones were the most "interesting"

Is it really necessary for it to be 10 years to become a sushi chef?

There was a price on the menu at a 1 star mountain restaurant in the valley I was skiing once. 35€/40€ for a 3 course meal with wine was pretty good.
>>
>>8586359
Probably not? But I would also argue that a katana probably doesn't need to be folded a million times and I doubt that would fly over well with the nips.
>>
>>8585559
I went to Narisawa in Japan. Easily the best meal I've had in my entire life. It was something like 8-10 courses and everything was amazing, even the bread.

Food was worth it for a special occasion but the cheapest wine was 100 a bottle and nothing great at all.

Also the steak was served with a sauce for all those faggots on this board that said a good steak should be some super plain mess with just salt and pepper. Can't remember if it was Kobe beef or not since theres actually a few places that have cows of that tier and Kobe isn't even top anymore.

Yes and yes.

You'll be surprised, a lot of Michelin star restaurants are actually reasonably priced and not ridiculous unlike perception.

I have been to several in London, you usually have to reserve quite a bit in advance but they are well worth the experience.

I've been to 3 Michelin star places in Chicago. 1 star I don't think is worth it. 3 should be for big special occasions, the 2 star restaurant I went to really thought me how important different ingredients can come together, how small ingredients and bursts of flavor can change everything, and textures can go a long way when you incorporate extremes

What if its a "foodie" millennial
>>
>>8585559
Yeah, I went to Tim Ho Wan. I thought it was below average.

I've had dim sum in places all over the world across a span of decades, so it's not like I'm bringing my pleb Amerifat LOLunoChinesewatuknowboutdimsumustupidbignose tastes to bear on them. I have an educated fucking dim sum palate here.

A couple of the things were 7/10, most were 4/10 or 5/10, but their "signature" pork buns were at best 2/10, probably less. The "meat" inside was mush, and they crusted the outside top with what was apparently sugar. WTF? Seriously? Sugar on barbecued pork buns? Maybe in the sauce, but crusted on the outside? Chef should commit sudoku for coming up with that abomination.

On the one hand, up until the "Singapore chicken rice" thing, Tim Ho Wan was the cheapest Michelin-starred place on this planet, so I suppose it's hard to say that I didn't get my money's worth. On the other hand, I could have gone to half a dozen other dim sum places in the immediate area and gotten better food for roughly the same price.

In Europe, the U.S., and probably Japan, the Michelin stars may mean something, but in Asia (at least outside of Japan) they seem to be stunts.

Powers of 2. Ten folds is 1024 layers, 20 folds is 1048576 layers, 30 is 1073741824 layers.

I don't think they go beyond a dozen or so folds. From what I remember of that old movie they showed in 7th grade science class, the swords have thousands of layers, not hundreds of thousands or millions or billions.
>>
>>8585570

The mains are plenty enough for a meal. If you only ate the starter and dessert then yeah its not enough but I find the mains just as filling as in average restaurants.

I like to save up my GBP for a trip to a Michelin starred place and have the tasting menu once in a while. Best place I've been to was L'Enclume, £120 for a marvellous 18 course meal which was absolutely worth. Went there three times over the course of a year when I was working in the area, it was that good.

>>8586461

I imagine the perfect sushi would be orgasmic but rice and fish can only taste so good. For the amount of extra effort, it couldn't be more than marginally better, and most people wouldn't care. I'm still happy just getting buzzed on sake and eating Pink Lady rolls.

Really, no restaurant food is worth the price. You go there to be served so you can seem like you're an important person, and to give people a reason to leave their homes once in a while.

That, and people are losing the ability to cook, so they're relying on take out.

Yep 2-3 times a year I like to go all out on a dining "experience", its fun if you treat it like a special event rather than just a meal, that way the whole rehearsed theatrics of the staff is easier to accept.

Pic related was from a few weeks ago, the bill came to $750 with a couple cocktails, was it worth it? Yeh I would do it again.
Couldnt recommend it to everyone though, there is a fair bit of wank about it that would put some people off.

I think you might have skimmed an article incorrectly but maybe are thinking of the same place

The entire meal built up from rustic looking to perfection. Some of the bread they bought to the table was dough, that baked in a very hot rock at the table. The snake was cooked in its skin and for guest who wanted to see (my wife didn't) they brought out a perfectly coiled but now totally black snake skin. But the snake on a plate looked great and you would have had no idea without reading the menu. By the end, the desserts on the cart looked too perfect to eat.

Essence of the Forest did look like dirt on the plate, twigs, and other thing. But everything was edible, it was real food prepared like that and it was just food as art to take you aback. And it was delicious. But the thing was through out the entire meal every course was better than the last and for us since it was our first Michelin experience everything was better than anything comparable we'd had. And that was from a 2 star place. I can only imagine a 3 star place.
>>
>>8585559
Yes. I blow my money on things I like. Holidays, drugs, booze, fine food, hookers (occasionally), music festivals, vidya, massages, etc. What's the fucking point of having money if you're not gonna spend it? Fine food is just another good thing on the list

Been to 3 or 4 1* places, and a 2* place.

Varies, generally the lunch menu is very reasonable and well worth the money.

some of the 1* places (to which I've been multiple times) are better than the 2* place I ate at.
>>
>>8589519

so they blast you with amuse bouche? i like that.. i think the amuse bouche is such a fucking great way of expressing what the restaurant can do.

it lets the restaurant show off what it can do in a few bites to build hype for the rest of the meal.. $750 for two people after all was said and done isn't "over the top" as far as industry standards go. in seattle, i paid $315 for just myself at Altura for a 9 course menu with pairing (and cocktails and extra courses/pairings were comped because of where i cook at here in seattle) and i would absolutely do it again.

there are places in DC where i know for a fact that it's easy to spend $1200 for two people (jose andres "mini bar" comes to mind), but $750, if it was all realy good, for probably almost 4 hours of entertainment and being completely catered to is totally worth it in my opinion.
>>
>>8585559
>Was the price worth it?
The food might be but desu the wine that takes like 2/3 of the bill is never worth it.
>>
>>8590171

this.

restaurants don't make shit off of food, once labor and materials are factored into the cost of the food, there isn't really much of a profit margin.

wine gets marked up 4x AT LEAST, though. liquor as well.

>>8586254
Overrated. It was his son that got the Michelin star not him. Somebody actually did a review on his restaurant and it is no different than other high end sushi restaurants. He also expects you to fuck off after 30 mins of being there. So, not only are you paying more but you can't even enjoy it.

Ive been to a few 3 hats and a few 2 hats (and one of those 2 hats is a family friend so we used to go 2-3 times a year for 15+ years).

The most notable difference is the presentation of food and the skills of the waiter. It is beyond comparison.

However, in terms of food, there are lots of standard restaurants that serve the same or almos as good quality. Maybe my palette is not sophisticated enough.

Been to a few, its definitely worth it but its more like an event like going to a theater rather than just having a meal. Its great too if you dont research the menu and get surprised by whatever you are served. Drinks are fucking expensive though, so I usually just have a couple glasses of wine.
>>
>>8591969
>food is theatre

Lel, no. Food is not art. It does not endure. Foods are carbon based substances humans consume so at the highest level, they can continue to produce art.

Presentation "artistes" are selling an idea to an extremely ignorant and gauche, albeit nouveau riche, segment of the population.
>>

Man I sure am glad I'm not so egoistic and self-centered I think I can tell other people what art is.

The thing with fine dining is also about making the most out of ingredients that costs more than a wholesaler brand and cant afford to fuck up given the clientele. With saputo brand food there is little if any expectations. Jiro gets fish that is only sold to people with a good rep and dont have the luxury of franchising.

well i am white as well, first of all

all i'm saying is that the western world has fetishized japanese food to an extent that it has been artificially elevated to some sort of arcane art form, with sushi and ramen being the most extreme and lamentable examples. movies like Jiro Dreams of Sushi only reinforce this faulty perception of japanese food as an exoticized "other" with semi-mystical qualities beyond that of western cuisine

i guess we took different things away from the movie

i was not impressed by jiro's ability to wake up and get fish and make sushi every day

i think if the movie had been about a french chef doing similar things for his duck l'orange, nobody would have given a shit
>>
A fair few. One not long after it opened, it got a Bib Gourmand about 6 months later. (I'd say it deserved it - we were the only people in when we went, and the staff I swear were on cocaine or something because they were disorganised as hell - but the food was GREAT.)

Mostly, but none of them were insanely priced.

Went to a place in Japan with parents and there was this place that was world famous for serving these cubes of meat cooked to perfection. It was good but not worth 90 quid

I went to Japan last summer and ate at Jiro's restaurant. I got a free meal when I showed him my tits.

lmao. You're an idiot.
>>
>>8595026
its used by only 2 countries, why would people be familiar with it?
>>
>>8595026
Its also not a standard used internationally. Things like oil are priced in dollars.

are you fucking serious? I've never even set foot in the UK and I can do the pound conversion in my head

I went here

It was pretty good but I'd never go back. A lot of what you pay for is the theater and that's not really my bag, it can get plain awkward to sit around watching waiters spill shit on the table for 5 minutes

Are you really trying to pretend that the pound is of equal importance as the Euro and the dollar? Because it is not
>>
>>8585559
I went to the NoMad and Eleven Madison Park. It's definitely worth it, especially if it's a new upcoming restaurant. I would wary about the three star Michelin places because that's when shit starts to get stagnant. In terms of food, they are going to give you food you probably would never be able to cook alone.
>>
>>8595293
I'm not trying to pretend anything. I'm laughing at your feeble attempt at role playing at being some kind of globe-trotting commodities trader by bringing up oil pricing.

If you need to resort to google to come up with a rough approximation of a GBP price as expressed in USD, EUR, or your local currency, you obviously don't read the news, don't interact with anyone outside your little hick town, and never purchase consumer goods beyond the basic survival necessities such as food from your local grocery store.

You tried to sound smart, but it backfired very badly on you.

Yes, and a number of manufacturers have been slow to update their UK MSRP so if you're in the market for anything expensive and small, the deals from knifecrime island are pretty amazing at the moment. Sometimes you have to call because authorized dealers are not allowed to sell overseas, but they usually will if you ask nicely.

Of course most of you guys are poor NEETs so this is probably not useful information.
>>
>>8585559
The point of those restaurants isn't to appease poor white collars who lose a weeks paycheck to go there, it's not for people who mostly eat macaroni and burgers.

It's for rich people who buy something that's expensive to us but not to them. They're rich enough that they don't care if a dinner with friends costs 500 dollars, they just don't care about the price. So it's irrelevant to ask us chumps of it was worth it.

Have you ever met anyone wealthy? They're always well aware of the prices of things, its how they don't become poor.

sequence went like this
>michelin isn't always that expensive
>LMAO RETARD
>no actually it's true, unless you think $39 is expensive
>LMAO U DUM
>wow you are stupid
>fedora.jpg
etc, basically anon tried to argue that michelin = $1000 meals all the time, and was embarrassed when he was wrong, so posted a lot of fedoras. the deleted posts were mine, along with all my other posts on every thread, because of a mod being butthurt about something completely unrelated

I work near the Tai Kok Tsui location and swing by on my way home sometimes. Technically not Michelin starred because only the SSP location has the rating but it can't be that different.

>>8597475
>>>'Worth it' is it is a loaded question
never talked about worth it. only absolute price.

>>Lol, you pretentious twat
