THANK YOU for this video MatPat!
As a Colombian-American who loves cooking, the fact that Latin America as a whole has so few Michelin stars always irritated me, since we have such wide diversity and flavor in our cuisines! I always felt that there was a European bias with these reviews. Don’t get me wrong, I love European cuisine, but there needs to be more love for Latin America and our amazing dishes. I’m sure there’s a a Michelin-worthy Arepa out there!
PS I feel like Papas Chorreadas would be something Michelin reviewers would like, but maybe that’s just me lol. Maybe they’d appreciate a bandeja paisa?
Sucks can't get to the point
That sponsor doesnt make sense, he said he wants to do it himself and doesnt wanna pay for a tow or his insurance will go up… kinda makes it seem like geico is bad, not only that but he requests the tow DIRECTLY from his insurance as well.
Edit: at 4:26 he says 35,000, but the video says 3,500..
Thirty-five thousand or hundred
SPIFF
the spiffen brit
Apparently 3500 is thirty five thousand and not thirty five hundred.
This video wouldn’t exist if the US was in the top 3 of Michelin stars🤣
Of course, it was a Vanagon that broke down. Haha good job
I have a friend in Japan who likes to go to Michelin starred restaurants when she travels, which is often. I think she said that she mostly sticks to one and two star restaurants because the three star ones aren't worth it for the price.
While Michelin is an old and stuffy organization and they tend to go for the more classic (french) dining experience, I think the story is more nuanced.
You look in the Michelin guide for a kind of restaurant. Mostly fine dining. Which no matter how you look at it, originated in France. Undoubtedly there is nice food made in many places in the world, the food is not the only thing that’s being reviewed. It’s the staff, the restaurant, creativity and the food. Especially when you’re talking about multiple stars. And it’s all reviewed on European (French) classic standards. That’s what the guide stands for. And every restaurant is judged according to those (old) standards. Which seems fair.
If you go to Mexico and want to have good streetfood, ask the locals. If you want to have a fine dining experience, which you probably shouldn’t in Mexico, look in the Michelin Guide.
3500 or 35000?
Late stage capitalism is when Matpat tries to sell me car insurance
You can't convince me that taco bell in not better than most of these fancy restaurants!
4:25 thirty-five thousand ot thirty-five hundred?
There’s actually a third way to know the word Michelin: Stray Kids
3500 or 35000?
As someone who has been working at various restaurants for years and gone to culinary school let me clear something up that Matpat is just completely ignoring, either because he doesn't fully understand the michelín criteria or because he's blatantly choosing to ignore it in order to make them seem like the bad guys: the michelín critics don't base their criteria strictly on the flavor of the food. They also take into consideration service, plate presentation, ambience, etc. Admittedly this is due in part to michelín being mostly French people, but a Mexican restaurant could have the greatest food in the world but if the restaurant is noisy with families yelling it will deduct points because they take that into account. I don't work for michelín so I don't know exactly how it works, but to give an over simplified example let's say that they have a maximum of 100 pts possible like it's the American education system. Of those 100 pts 50 of them would be flavor 30 of them would be presentation and 20 of them would be ambience. If the flavor is perfect and the restaurant gets 50 pts but the presentation is nonexistent and it's noisy in the restaurant with families and they get 0 pts for both presentation and ambience for a total of 50 pts the restaurant might get one star but that's it. If they want 2 stars let's say that they need 75 pts total so they'll need to make the plate elegant not just dump food on a plate and say bon appetite. Again I don't work for michelín so I don't know exactly how it works, but that's the oversimplified version.
4:35 visual 3500 or audio 35 thousand?
4:25 ah yes, the math genius who says counts the numbers of pi for fun indirectly says that 3500 = 35000
4445
wow. I never get french food at stores (i personally don't like the food) but yeah, there are a LOT of french shops here in Japan it's kind of weird
I love how when talking about how they're all close to france you have to keep saying that this does NOT include Japan
Wait, was that a One Topic chibi at 8:57?
NO WONDER THE UK ISN’T UP THERE! We have not much French food! Something to do with our rivalry…
google says its a pile of tires
the tire man!
Breaking news: an European list puts Europeans at the top
3500 = 35000???
Hey matpat you said 35 000 copies but on the screen was 3 500 written
Nah am surprised the USA has above 100
At least my country (Switzerland) has been given attention by michelin
Germany, Italy, Japan ohh no
4:20 35000 lmao
Who died and made a french tyre company the connoisseurs of global cuisine?
