In 1900, Michelin (the TYRE company!) launched a guidebook for French motorists to find places to eat & stay. The goal? More driving = more tyre sales! 🚗 In 1926, they began awarding stars to exceptional restaurants: 1 star = “very good,” 3 stars = “worth a special journey.” What started as a marketing ploy became the HIGHEST honour in the culinary world! 🤯
