The other side of the mountain in the magic capital has been open for three or four days, and there is an endless stream of diners every day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is like a spark, people are spreading word of mouth, and restaurants are becoming more and more popular.

Fortunately, Zhang Shan invited some celebrity chefs, and he was not so tired.

For such a hot restaurant, of course, the news will also be hyped.

The "Other Side of the Mountain", which was a new star, was recognized as the second Michelin restaurant in mainland China, and even the first three-star Michelin restaurant.

The three stars not only symbolize "absolutely perfect cuisine", but also "a chef or restaurant who will not make any mistakes". One of the most famous stories about the downgrade is the suicide of celebrity chef Alain Zick because his restaurant was downgraded from three stars to two stars, which shows that the glory of three stars is the greatest affirmation and the greatest pressure. Later, Bernard Loiseau became the second chef to commit suicide due to the descent.

The star rating is decided by the Michelin judges.

The Michelin judges taste and evaluate different restaurants nine months of the year, about 250 restaurants, one per day. They are not limited to five cities in the United States, but may also go to six or seven cities in Japan, as well as Hong Kong and Macao, as well as a large number of countries in Europe.

For a restaurant that is likely to receive three Michelin Guides, the judges went to the tasting 15 times.

Michelin judges visit different restaurants every day, eat and drink, take photos and write down their feelings, and you can taste delicious food, the key is to sign the order or "swipe the boss's drop card". It seems to be one of the most flattering jobs in the world.

Don't look at the work of the Michelin judges, it is mainly about eating, but it is not so easy to do.

To become a Michelin judge, you have to go through five steps:

1. Self-nomination (or recommendation)

First of all, you need to have a natural sense of taste and have experience in the restaurant or hospitality industry. Then, you can submit your resume to the Michelin Guide.

2. Interview

After the first meeting, the editor-in-chief will invite you to a meal. Just when you think it's an ordinary interview, a real and comprehensive assessment has already begun.

3. Testing

Perhaps during the meal, or perhaps after the meal, the subject will fill out a special Michelin-made food evaluation form. This form has a strict template where you will record the "after-meal" of each dish.

4. Training

When you get to this point, congratulations on your preliminary selection as a food judge. Over the next 3 to 6 months, you will be accompanied by experienced food tastings with experienced judges to impart your experience and train your practical skills – including the official categories of Michelin-starred restaurants, which combine the quality and combination of ingredients, cooking techniques and characteristics, odour intensity and combination, price and taste, and the ability to consistently serve food.

5. Induction

After a series of trainings, of course, it is important to remain anonymous, but also to read a lot, including magazines, blogs, etc., and maintain relationships with chefs and restaurateurs in the industry to keep abreast of the latest trends in the market. Finally, congratulations on your solo trip and being part of a family of mysterious gastronomic judges.

Because of the strict requirements, Michelin judges are extremely easy to pull hatred.

Once, because the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong was also extremely famous in the local area, it was simply a landmark restaurant. However, the Michelin judges should think that the atmosphere of the hotel is more than food, and there is a tendency to dominate the crowd, that is, you can feel the brilliance of the decoration design, but at the same time, it also distracts people from the food itself. And then the Peninsula didn't rate it a Michelin restaurant.

This raises questions about the Michelin selection......

However, the evaluation system of the Michelin Guide is more like a rigorous scientific analysis method, and people's doubts are only like vomiting, which does not affect the change of Michelin's decision, but is more like the majesty of imperial power, making people obey its system and abide by its rules from the heart.

The one-star Macherin restaurant in the magic capital understands the demanding nature of the rating.

Dai Sheng doesn't think that the fledgling Zhang Shan can get the title of Michelin restaurant at any level, Samsung is just a boast of everyone, and a few people have been to a three-star Michelin restaurant, just chasing the wind and following the trend.

Zhao Qi, speaking of which, is still a senior brother with Wang Yuan, their sect is the same as the same master, but at that time Zhao Qi was still a junior disciple who had just started, and he was considered a closed disciple, and Wang Yuan was already perfect and was about to leave the school.

He had seen Wang Yuan defeat his master, and he was shocked at that time, but with his departure, the master also favored him in every way.

The master and apprentice will always keep a hand, and at that time their master was about to go west, so he handed over the last ability to Zhao Qi.

After Zhao Qi completed his studies, he realized how stupid Wang Yuan's departure was.

Zhao Qi's knife skills are also among the best in the country, which is why he has won the title of this one-star Michelin restaurant.

Zhao Qike would not be as biased as Dai Sheng thought, he was very angry after hearing everyone's evaluation of Zhang Shan.

Zhao Qi said: "It's just a small entertainment champion, what is the ability?" I thought it would be this Zhang Shan! ”

"Don't make trouble, Zhang Shan doesn't need to test his own Michelin ratings to decide, after all, he is also a well-known figure, if you smear me, it will be dispersed, don't delay my business when the time comes!" Dai Sheng didn't understand Zhao Qi's feelings, and just ordered.

Zhao Qi has the ability, but if it weren't for Dai Sheng's cultivation and help, no matter how hard you work here in the magic capital, you wouldn't have such an achievement.

So Zhao Qi just clenched the kitchen hat in his hand and left without saying anything.

On the other hand, here on the "other side of the mountain", Yang Chen hiccuped and picked his teeth after eating.

Yang Chen has often come to eat overlord meals since Zhang Shan opened a restaurant, and Zhang Shan doesn't care so much.

Song Qi was not happy, this was the restaurant he opened with Zhang Shan.

"You think this is your home?!" Song Qi said angrily.

Yang Chen was also shocked when Song Qi shouted like this.

Yang Chen didn't know that Song Qi was a shareholder of the restaurant, and he didn't like such a strong rich girl, because Yang Chen had been hurt (I won't go into details in terms of feelings) in the past......

"My brother hasn't spoken yet, what are you arguing about, it looks like the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, and besides, my brother has nothing to do with you!" Yang Chen said without giving in.

Zhang Shan was also surprised to see the two of them suddenly arguing.

It stands to reason that Song Qi is also a nosy person from time to time, and Yang Chen also sees a beautiful woman who can't walk the way, what's wrong today.

"In fact, Song Qi is also a shareholder of this restaurant, and she helped when she couldn't find a good place, and she accounted for 30% of the shares as a condition of the transaction." Zhang Shan whispered in Yang Chen's ear.

Yang Chen was also very embarrassed, eating people with short mouths and short hands, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing Yang Chen's appearance, Zhang Shan turned his head and said to Song Qi: "Yang Chen is also my buddy, and all his expenses in the future will be on my head." ”

Song Qi was also speechless when he heard Zhang Shan say this, although he didn't say anything, he still glanced at Zhang Shan, and then glared at Yang Chen and left.

"You think you're the boss!" Yang Chen was also a little annoyed when he was stared at, so he said.

Zhang Shan secretly said that it was not good, didn't this Yang Chen deliberately cause trouble.

Just then the bell on the door rang, proving that someone was coming.

"Can I order?" said a sturdy man who looked like a foreigner spoke fluent Mandarin.

Zhang Shan was also frightened by his Mandarin, but it was almost closed so late, but Zhang Shan did not refuse this guest in order to relieve his anger.

Now that the employees in the store are off work, Zhang Shan will ask as a waiter for the time being.

"Yes sir, what do you need?"
