Anthony Bourdain, a renowned chef, had a complicated relationship with Michelin stars, viewing them as less relevant to the true art of cooking. He enjoyed the experience of dining rather than the prestigious accolade itself. Bourdain criticized the standards set by Michelin, especially in the U.S., and felt that the system, which has conservative historic roots, has become outdated. His disdain for the elitism surrounding Michelin stars culminated when he expressed outrage over Daniel Boulud's restaurant, Daniel, losing a star, reaffirming his view that no single group's opinion should dictate a restaurant's value.
Bourdain believed that while fine dining has its merit, it shouldn't be defined by Michelin stars, as true culinary art is about experience over accolades.
He was frustrated by the elitism surrounding Michelin ratings, arguing that a few diners shouldn't dictate the worth of an entire restaurant.
