None of them expected that Chen Feng would reject Michelin's evaluation for this reason.
But this reason makes all of them feel irrefutable.
The Michelin star indicates the level of the food itself, including taste, ingredients, and creativity, and Chinese food is actually easy to meet such standards, but only to pursue these standards, it will lose the essence and connotation of Chinese food itself.
In particular, Aiwei Restaurant is not like other high-end restaurants, there are only a few special dishes on the menu every day, and even a bowl of clear soup noodles has been continuously provided since the opening of Aiwo Restaurant.
Then it's not called clear soup noodles.
There are serious discrepancies between the many rules for restaurants and the Michelin judging criteria.
For example, in the second round of Michelin judging, we will conduct a secret review, and come to the restaurant many times and irregularly to eat, so that we can examine the daily service of a restaurant, and if the food provided every day is quite delicious, exquisite and full of creativity, it can be highly praised, and two or even three stars are not a problem.
However, among the delicacies provided by Aiwei Restaurant every day, there are not only ordinary white porridge and rice, but also clear soup, noodles, fish flavor, shredded pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, which are so home-cooked that they can no longer be home-cooked.
This alone is destined to be unable to get three stars for Aiwei Restaurant.
As Chen Feng himself said, Aiwei Restaurant will not give up these most ordinary delicacies in order to meet the evaluation criteria.
In fact, that's what he did, and every day there were these most common delicacies on the menu for guests to choose from, and as long as there was a little, Chen Feng would serve them to the guests.
Is it difficult for Aiwei restaurants to achieve 3 stars?
It's not that hard.
But that's not an Awei restaurant.
The whole restaurant was silent, no one expected Chen Feng to have such a pursuit and dedication to food.
"Mr. Chen, is this your final decision? If this is really your final decision, then we will respect your choice. The short hair said solemnly, with respect in his eyes that he had not seen before.
She really didn't expect such a young chef to have such a persistent adherence to Chinese food.
She believes that with his cooking skills, he can easily achieve three stars, and the processing of ingredients and the control of taste are the most extreme of all the restaurants she has eaten, and if he is willing to do some innovation, I believe it will not be too difficult.
But Chinese food is not only about these innovative cuisines, and his persistence means that he will inevitably lose the opportunity to three stars.
But this dedication deserves her highest respect as a gourmet.
"So be it. ”
Chen Feng smiled, but he was bitter in his heart.
"Well, there will be no recommendations for restaurants in the Michelin Guide in the future, but ......"
"Michelin will not only evaluate the restaurant once, we will also come to the restaurant many times for a new round of evaluation, and we will still make a recommendation invitation to Mr. Chen, and it is ......."
Short hair smiled: "Even if I am not a judge, I would like to visit Aiwei Restaurant from time to time, the food here is the most unique and extreme I have ever tasted, not even the most ordinary home-cooked food here." ”
"Welcome. Chen Feng said.
"Then we'll take our leave. The short hair and big waves smiled respectfully at Chen Feng and turned to leave.
Although this result was a little surprising to them, they had a better feeling for Aiwei Restaurant, perhaps...... After you go back, you can write a food article about Aiwei Restaurant, so that more friends know that there is such an authentic Chinese restaurant in China.
Chen Feng watched them leave, and sighed helplessly in his heart, no matter how fanciful he said, he couldn't hide the regret in his heart.
Being able to be selected as a star recommended restaurant in the Michelin Guide is very beneficial to the future development of Aiwei Restaurant, but it can only refuse people, if this news spreads, it will be laughed to death by peers, right?
As a world-class food recommendation system, Michelin's influence in the world is increasing with people's pursuit of food.
Even if it's just a one-star restaurant, it can bring fame and fortune to the restaurant, and as long as it is associated with the three words Michelin, it will make the restaurant famous.
And the restaurant Aiwei rejected the review of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, which makes the chefs and restaurants who are obsessed with the red Michelin star what to think?
It seems that if you want to expand the international route, you can only find a way.
Chen Feng sighed, and as soon as he turned around, he blinked at the light of a flash.
"Beauty in broad daylight, you don't need to turn on the flash, right?" Chen Feng teased, and when he looked at the restaurant, a group of people were either taking pictures with their mobile phones or recording videos with their mobile phones.
"Is it so exaggerated?" Chen Feng smiled and went back to the restaurant to continue his work.
The restaurant suddenly burst into applause, Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, looking at their excited eyes, he himself felt helpless.
"Brother Feng, can I use your photos as mobile wallpapers?"
"Don't let my wife see it. Chen Feng teased.
"Don't worry, I'll show it to my mother. ”
"Master Chen, I just recorded a video, can I post it on the Internet? I'm also a food lover, I'm really excited to hear what you just said, I want to share this video with everyone. ”
"You'd better post a few more websites, I've just lost a bunch of potential customers, and I hope your videos can help me bring more customers to make up for the loss." ”
"I also think what you just said is really remarkable, in the face of Michelin's two-star restaurant review to be able to refuse with such persistence, young man, I believe that your restaurant's business will only be better than now, definitely not worse than now, at least, I will come over to support when I have time. ”
"Then thank you to this great beauty. ”
"Just call me Auntie, let's have an oyster sauce and abalone to support it first. ”
"This can be there. ”
Chen Feng smiled and took out the oyster abalone from the food storage space and waited for a while to serve it to her after she placed the order.
"Brother Feng, I also took a video, I'll help you Amway. ”
Several regular customers couldn't help but post the video they just took on the Internet, and those who didn't take the video posted their photos on the Internet, which directly detonated the Internet hot words.
The Internet search volume of Aiwei Restaurant is very high, and related topics have never been endless, from the beginning of refusing a man to dine and let Aiwei Restaurant enter the public eye, to later refusing a man to enter the restaurant at a price of 300,000 yuan, some people have always questioned that this is a special means of hype of Aiwei Restaurant.
But now, the rejection of the Michelin judges' two-star rating in person has surprised everyone, and those skeptical voices don't know where to start, if this is hype, then the price is too great?
