Watch Us Surprise a Chef with Two Michelin Stars.

[@Fuhrious]

Something important to remember as well two Michelin stars indicates that it’s not only the quality of the food that is worthy of recognition, but the staff and service in the restaurant is top notch as well. You don’t get two stars just by being a good chef

[@andersandkaitlin]

For sure!

[@motoenthusiast349]

That is what we called team effort and sense of ownership for every member of the team.

[@tc88888888]

Michelin stars are purely rated on food. Nothing else. Service and decor is a separate category.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@tc88888888 True on paper, but we see Michelin tend to skip entirely places with great food if the setting and service doesn't match the typical fine dining category.

[@elbruces]

It's the overall rating of all the elements combined. The number of stars doesn't represent any one "aspect" of a restaurant, it represents how far out of your way you should go to visit this restaurant. 1 = worth it if you're already in the area, 2 = worth a detour, 3 = worth a trip. The Michelin guide was originally created to get people to drive/travel more so they'd use out their car tires.

[@sandywlaschin3878]

I love that he congratulated his staff. Realizing that it wasn’t just his work that earned it

[@andersandkaitlin]

Such a nice guy!

[@kp-fc4yr]

That was the biggest thing for me. That he congratulated and included the staff. They all worked hard to get there

[@daol84]

That's the Nordic way :)

[@248SUPERMARIO52811]

i would have assumed every michelin star restaurant owner would always know that its a team effort, no?

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@248SUPERMARIO52811 Knowing is one thing. How you talk about it another.

[@wpetersejt]

He is the kind of owner and chef every employee is just dreaming about. Great man! Congratulations for the two stars.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Truly!

[@AmidaNyorai48]

😀

[@sebastianfrank4295]

I dont have a clue about higher cuisine but watch this guy. He instantly shares his joy with his team, telling them WE are getting a 2nd star, not I AM getting a 2nd star. His reaction is pretty impressive tbh

[@andersandkaitlin]

Says a lot about him!

[@talltalan]

I love the fact that he gets up and heads straight for his team to tell them. Having worked in the kitchen of a 2 Michelin star restaurant we worked our asses off. The only thing harder than getting a 2nd star is keeping it.

[@Nomzai]

Wouldn’t a third star be harder?

[@Chironex_Fleckeri]

@@Nomzai Yes lol but it's also very arbitrary

[@OwenPenner]

“The year I took over they decided to remove it, _luckily_ it came back a year later.” What a humble and genuine guy.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Truly!

[@t3ss33]

Well, everyone should know that luck is always part of the equation. People who think that effort fully determines success have not only got no clue, but they belittle everyone who put all their effort into something and still fail. For me the guy is right. He did his best, everything else was out of his hands and luckily the jurors were pleased.

[@zeboskarsson3307]

That chef know's what teamwork is! "We are actually allowed being happy" you only celebrate when you win.

[@andersandkaitlin]

It was a great moment!

[@zSamuellz]

I can see lots of top comments about the head chef himself. For me, I think it’s the reaction of the staff that shows what a team he has built there. Congratulations to all well done.

[@andersandkaitlin]

They couldn't have been more happy for their mentor.

[@SrGemmaRose]

He seems like someone you’d want to work for. All heart. He deserves it. Congratulations!!!!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Absolutely!

[@skeche]

loved how the chef was like, "maybe we should have a glass of Champagne to celebrate?" like he has to actually ask for fucking permission when he earned those 2 stars like a boss.

[@andersandkaitlin]

That made me happy. The person deserved it! I may not get a chance to go to such a expensive place in life but I admire his sacrifice and hardwork.

this reminds me of the tenured PhD on a review board who would call back in doctoral candidates, after they have defended their written thesis, the supporting evidence, and were then sent out of the room while the merit of work was discussed... and are anxiously awaiting whether she/he achieved or had to rework through,... he would go to the hall where the candidate was waiting and ask " Doctor XXXXXX, would you please come back in?"... being the first person who called her or him "Doctor"... said is was a supreme joy.

No matter what you think of Michelin stars as a proper way to recognise a restaurant - and the almost absurd lengths many chefs go in their pursuit of those stars - I think we can still appreciate a chef who feels such a deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude for this kind of recognition.
