Australian KFC Wants to be in the Michelin Guide | Eater

"An extremely remote fried‑chicken franchise in Alice Springs that has become a regional attraction, drawing people who drive hundreds of miles for its novelty and consistent product. The owner and supporters emphasize daily‑delivered fresh chickens and hand‑breading by in‑store cooks as evidence of quality and technical skill, arguing the meals are memorable and reflect the outlet’s personality. A recent grassroots campaign to seek Michelin recognition highlights these points, though practical hurdles remain — notably that Michelin does not currently publish a guide in Australia — and high‑profile examples of star‑related problems elsewhere temper expectations about the benefits of such awards." - Jaya Saxena
