I like this if you're gonna go uber fancy with food then go all in and have it be more of an experience than a meal.

[@TheRealPDizzle]

I used to be a chef and a caterer along with my mother many, many years ago. Before she departed from this world she had instilled in me a deep-seated passion for food and the importance of a wide, versatile pallet. I’d say I’m a good home chef and gourmet enough to have parties/cook for gatherings of people, but once you start getting into this kind of level of gastronomy I’m rather uneducated and inexperienced. I think the highest tier restaurant I’ve had the privilege of dining in was a 5-star in my home city in the US. I don’t think it had even one Michelin though. My question is: is there really a tangible, articulate difference between a 1, 2, and 3 Michelin Star restaurant? Can you describe the major differences? What kinda of things would you expect to see in a three star vs a two or one; and likewise, what kind of mistakes or flaws would be apparent in a one star but be totally unacceptable at a three star? Thanks for your hard work documenting these places. And thank you in advance if you should see fit to answer my questions?

[@andersandkaitlin]

Hi. First of all, thanks for sharing your personal story with us! As for the question, yes and no. The problem is that the Michelin Guide is not very consistent between countries. But within a country / region there are differences. The main difference should always be the food. Every dish is more precise and better the more stars a place has. We're talking balance in flavors and textures, but also sourcing of the very finest produce. Usually, there are also differences in service level, how much work is put into the interior details etc. (even though, according to Michelin, these metrics are not relevant for the stars which are supposedly all about the food). We could write a full article on this topic, but I hope this answered your main question, at least. :)

[@RYDARUS]

The concentration of flavor in a three mich is off the charts. A one Michelin Star is probably equivalent to a very good restaurant or a very good dish, what earns Michelin stars in my opinion is consistency. At the three Michelin level in a competitive region you consistently have dishes that have such pure concentration of flavor and clarity it’s absurd. Every restaurant is different and hits different notes but a worthy three star just has an insane symphony of flavor that just wants to make you almost shake with pleasure. Usually a two star will be like a less consistent three star, it might hit the same notes occasionally, but they vary, I’ve been disappointed with two stars before, but I’ve never been disappointed with the few three stars I’ve been to.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@RYDARUS Well said, and I agree for the most part, except sometimes Michelin is not that consistent either.

Well, for starters: for a diner like this the bottomprice (wine sharing incl.) is €330.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Just to make it a small surprise, and it's like a gift from the chef. :)

[@donjuco242]

@@andersandkaitlin was that thing cooked?? Did you liked it?

[@ad-zh5ot]

It's symbolism. The Denia prawn or Red prawn is the biggest and most precious prawn in the world and yet most of the world ignores its existence. It's a way of giving it the importance it deserves. There's more to it, Quique's dishes are extremely elaborate but this one in particular (the red prawn) sticks to the basics of respecting the product 100%, that's why the red plastic around it is kind of ironic poetry. And yes, the Denia prawn is cooked (boiled if I recall correctly, as doing these prawns grilled is basically gastronomical sacrilege.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@ad-zh5ot Correct, this one was boiled. But if you watch my video from when we cooked together with Quique Dacosta and his team, you can see that they use various cooking techniques, like deep-frying and carefully steaming on top of an egg-white meringue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ome3dKyoe9J6rrc

[@ad-zh5ot]

@@andersandkaitlin yeah, I saw that too, but the ones he deep fries and cooks in other ways aren't Denia red prawns, they're small white ones. This doesn't mean Denia red prawns are never grilled, they are and they're still delicious, however the really big ones (size 1, like the ones they serve at Quique's) it's considered unrespectful to the product to grill them and it's usually seen as something only non-locals/tourists would order.

[@darkpewdiepie851]

why not give a little description of the taste?can't understand the taste just looking at the video

[@andersandkaitlin]

dark pewdiepie go taste yourself! That’s the point :)

[@felipevi8554]

It could be called Mediterranean: light, fresh and slightly salty like the sea. Quique pays tribute to the sea of Eastern Spain in each and every one of its dishes. As usual, G&T is not to my liking, but its touch of rosemary matches the context. Come some spring-summer day. The food and the landscapes will amaze you.

*** 3 stars michelin and no gloves in kitchen or when serving????

[@andersandkaitlin]

You are misinformed. Chefs in any good restaurant wash their hands properly and work with them as their tools - they don't wear gloves unless it's something they need to protect their hands for. Good hand hygiene cannot be replaced by the use of gloves. Gloves get dirty and are not easy to clean, you would have to change gloves every other minute. Imagine the waste?

[@Luthaniel83]

I would probably need another meal. The portions are so tiny

[@andersandkaitlin]

Luthaniel Pok these are not portions. You eat every one of these 20+ courses in one meal. It’s called a tasting menu.
