The Curse of the Michelin Star

"Mélisse is a two-star restaurant in Los Angeles, California, led by chef Josiah Citrin. Citrin discusses the competitive nature of chefs and the self-inflicted pressure to maintain Michelin stars, noting the significant pressure that comes with operating a high-end establishment like Mélisse compared to his more casual restaurant, Charcoal."
