French Chef Marc Veyrat Hates Michelin Stars as Much as Cheddar Cheese | Eater London

"Chef Marc Veyrat publicly returned his two Michelin stars for his restaurant in Manigod after publishing an open letter accusing the Guide’s inspectors of “profound incompetence.” He was especially outraged by an alleged claim that the kitchen used cheddar in a soufflé that he says is made with alpine cheeses — reblochon, beaufort and tomme — calling that suggestion a shocking smear; Michelin’s own listing contains no mention of cheddar. The controversy has become a high-profile critique of the accuracy and professionalism of Michelin inspections." - James Hansen
