French Chef’s Michelin Lawsuit Results in Loss | Eater
"Once rated three stars, the restaurant was downgraded to two after the guide claimed a soufflé contained cheddar, prompting the chef to sue Michelin to force production of documents (receipts and inspector notes) and to clarify the reasons for the demotion; he sought a symbolic €1 in damages. Michelin denied the alleged error and the inspector-related accusations, and the court ruled against the chef after he failed to show any adverse business impact — the chef said the restaurant had never been busier — while Michelin is seeking roughly €30,000 in damages and compensation. The chef has publicly rejected further association with the guide." - Monica Burton
