Expose the scandal of Michelin ratings?

Lin Xu looked at the notification on his phone that praised the Michelin-starred chef.

While the TV station was vigorously publicizing and promoting, my sister-in-law suddenly went to expose the scandal of Michelin ratings. Didn't this directly poke into those people's lungs?

And what she said was an authority in the industry.

What is authority? It must be a big shot in the catering industry.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Yan and asked:

"Is it the Chinese Cuisine Association?"

"Yes, it's one of our own, so it's great to show your face. In addition to the Culinary Association, there are also National Tourism Association, National Hotel Association, China Travel Service, Beijing Tourism, China Youth Travel Service and other units participating..."

Good guy, this is a big battle!

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"Have you been doing this secretly lately?"

"Well, I hate those Michelin ratings. None of the Chinese restaurants they rated are delicious, and the prices are too expensive, so I took this opportunity to reveal the inside story of the ratings."

Lin Xu was worried that something was not right about confronting the TV station like this before. After all, they are a state unit.

But now that we use magic to attack magic, it will be fine.

However, the TV station is really good at joining in the fun. Now it is promoting Michelin and other things in a big way, really stretching its neck to let my sister-in-law slap it in the face.

Lin Xu asked curiously:

"What's the scandal about Michelin ratings?"

Chen Yan took a bite of the chicken wings she grabbed:

"You can spend money to rate. As long as you spend two million, you can get one Michelin star. And according to insiders, half of the domestic Michelin restaurants spend money. As for the identification of Michelin chefs, it is even simpler. You only need to spend

You can get certified by paying for their training courses... I suspect that the chef hired by the TV station is a three-star chef who paid for it."

Gee, is there such a thing?

If it breaks out, you can really give it a beating.

Chen Yan gnawed the chicken wings clean, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"By the way, Lin Ji seems to be eligible for the Black Pearl Restaurant rating next year. Will you sign up then?"

Lin Xu then shook his head:

"After you expose the scandal tomorrow, I will ask Sister Jing to issue a statement. Linji Food will not participate in any evaluation. The right to evaluate will be given to customers, not an organization."

The tire seller at Michelin doesn't understand Chinese food enough. There is also a copycat version of the Black Pearl rating in China, and it is completely unprofessional.

When evaluating dishes, it all depends on the presentation. If the presentation is in line with Michelin's, you will get high scores, and if the presentation is mediocre, you will get a bad review.

This is simply an insult to Chinese food.

In fact, when it comes to plate presentation, Chinese food is the strong point. For example, high-end Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine can be arranged into poems and paintings, reaching the realm of art.

Western food is really lacking in this aspect, but those rating organizations do not refer to the art of presentation of Chinese food, and just follow the Michelin style.

Isn't this a typical case of discarding the basics and chasing the last?

Shen Jiayue pulled off a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"What if they deliberately blackmail us?"

"It's too simple. Let's go back to Senior Brother and the others and go to the Black Pearl Restaurant one by one to find fault. If the language is sharper, Black Pearl's authority will be destroyed in less than two months."

We promise not to use Senior Brother and Lao Dai first, but if you persist in your stubbornness, these two fearless masters will definitely give you some clues.

This type of rating organization was originally a sedan chair carried by everyone, so it seemed to have some authority.

But if being chased and criticized by a few state banquet chefs leads to a decrease in the number of customers in a certified restaurant, what authority does this have?

Restaurants go to great lengths to rate themselves in order to attract customers. If they can’t attract customers, it may even have the opposite effect. Then what’s the point of rating them?

Once a restaurant takes the initiative to reach for stars, a chain reaction will naturally follow.

When the time comes, black pearls and white pearls will no longer work.

Shen Guofu smiled and said:

"Michelin was fine at the beginning, but in recent years its ratings have become increasingly unprofessional, and they prefer to listen to stories when rating, but high-end Chinese food is the most disdainful of telling stories, so it can't be rated... unlike Japan

Ingredients, hyped sushi gods, rice cooking immortals, etc., this is what foreigners do."

"Ha, Dad, remember to call me the Air Fryer God and the God of Small Home Appliances from now on. I'm pretty good at this too."

Ren Jie held a piece of French fries and put it into his mouth:

"If Lin Xu were in the Japanese food circle, maybe he would be called the Noodle God by now. I feel like the Japanese food circle likes to do this kind of gimmick the most, the god of ramen, the god of tofu, the god of rice balls, the god of tuna.

God, God of Toast, etc. are all similar titles."

Everyone talked and laughed, and then dispersed after eating.

The next day, after seeing Chen Meijuan off, Lin Xu continued to work in the store.

At 5 p.m., the video will be officially launched.

Lin Xu directly taught three ways to make foie gras in the video, which made netizens hooked:

"Damn it, I thought foie gras was so fancy, but it turns out it's so simple."

"I didn't expect it. I just wanted to think about it for a long time. I didn't expect that I could do it directly."

"After searching, I found that foie gras is very cheap online. I plan to go and learn how to make foie gras and taste the delicious food that foreigners think."

"Boss Lin announced the foie gras recipe so straightforwardly. I wonder if it will offend those Western restaurants that are trying to make things more mysterious."

"With Boss Lin's reputation, it shouldn't be a big deal if he offends him, right?"

"If you have any suggestions, let Chef Xie go visit a few stores and make that store popular again."

"..."

Netizens are discussing it with all kinds of talk.

I want to try both methods of foie gras with and without breading, but as for the third method of grilling, I am a bit intimidated.

After all, the video repeatedly emphasizes that non-professionals should not try it rashly, as it may cause burns.

Non-professionals know how much they weigh, and they just watch the fun and won't be stupid enough to try it.

But the TV station has professionals. Since last night, it has been promoting all kinds of overwhelming things. Not only is it a Michelin three-star chef, but he also cooks foie gras.

Netizens all clicked on the official account of Shiweirenjian to see how the foie gras cooked here tastes.

Before doing this, Mr. Lin repeatedly emphasized that he was not good at cooking Western food, so he just gave it a simple try. I hope the Western chef would give me a pat on the unprofessional part.

It stands to reason that the chef's skills with three Michelin stars should be higher than those of Lin Xu.

Clicking on the video, Min Zhengnan emphasized at the beginning that Western food is difficult and different from home-cooked food, and called on viewers not to try it at home.

Netizens are all black with question mark faces.

Boss Lin made it clear that foie gras is a home-cooked dish and the preparation is very simple.

When you came up, you said you couldn't try it at home.

Is there any great secret here?

Everyone patiently watched it and found that it was similar to Lin Xu's method of making pan-fried foie gras. The only difference was that there were some inexplicable rituals.

For example, after crushing the pepper, pinch it a little bit with your fingers and sprinkle it on the foie gras.

For table salt, you have to raise your hands high and throw it on the foie gras like a salt spreader.

These messy steps made netizens confused.

wtf?

What the hell is this age, and we still use Brother Sayan’s rituals to make things mysterious? Can’t we have some new ideas?

And they keep saying that it is a high-end dish that cannot be cooked at home, but from beginning to end, I didn’t find it very difficult, and the technique is not even as skillful as Boss Lin.

The previous step of frying foie gras left everyone speechless, but it was still a delicious recipe and you can watch it.

But later, Chef Min directly said that there is a very high-end grilling method, which is extremely difficult to make and is his teacher's unique skill.

Netizens:???????

Did your teacher open a restaurant called Linji Food?

Boss Lin, who is not very good at it, just effortlessly performed the technique of searing foie gras, and the dish he made is worth trying even through the screen.

What a shame, under the guise of being a three-star Michelin chef, you can’t even sear foie gras.

If there weren't Lin Xu's video, Min Zhengnan's video wouldn't be a problem. It's even more in line with the public's perception of Western food, thinking it is some kind of high-end cuisine.

But after watching Lin Xu’s video and watching this one, I felt it was really baffling.

It’s just foie gras, but it can’t be made at home. Does it require professionals to do it?
