A Michelin chef is a chef who works at a restaurant that has been awarded one or more Michelin stars. Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants that are judged to be of a particularly high standard, based on anonymous inspections by Michelin inspectors who evaluate the quality of the food, cooking techniques, mastery of flavor, value, consistency, and unique personality brought to each dish. Although the Michelin star is awarded to a restaurant, the credit for it goes to the chef in charge of the kitchen. A single Michelin star means the food served at the restaurant is of excellent quality in its category, two stars mean the food is good enough to take a detour for, and three stars mean the restaurant serves such excellent food that it deserves a special visit. To become a Michelin chef, one must work at a restaurant that meets the Michelin standards and has been awarded one or more Michelin stars. The chef must have a passion for cooking and creativity to blend flavors and present each dish in a unique way that speaks for itself.
