I used to work in a Michelin star restaurant very briefly, and it’s mostly just about presentation. The food was definitely good enough high quality but you could also get good high quality food from non-michelin star restaurants, if you paid enough.
Anyway all the kitchen staff used to go to McDonald’s for their lunch, which tells you everything you really need to know about Michelin restaurants. You can get sick of fancy food.
Also, the snobbery aspect of the Michelin guide is because only rich people could afford cars at the beginning.
