Akasazh comments on Michelin Man's New Business Plan: Give Stars to Faraway Restaurants to Force Tire Sales

It's leeching money. The fine dining bills are through the roof. The cost of the guides, that few people actually buy, stand in Pqle comparison of having to buy multiple courses in the most expensive restaurants in the world.

The source is the podcast 'no such thing as a fish', which is generally well sourced.

https://podcasts.musixmatch.com/podcast/no-such-thing-as-a-fish-01gv2bv14079rhv1ch6dvacmgt/episode/no-such-thing-as-fishing-in-the-sea-of-tranquility-01jdv42kt341n4r3tk1d3qpe9y

The quote in particular is from a Chicago chef, and it's localized. However the sales of the book themselves are marginal considering the cost of the system.

A bit of a tangential aside, but I always disliked that podcast name. Fish is a reasonable morphological and ecological term and the fact that people have tried to stretch it into a phylogenetic term is silly. Morphology is a perfectly legitimate way to describe something; it just gives you a different set of information.

Yeah it's a bit of an unfortunate name. They call it 'fish' for short, which is a bit contradictory too, as there now is a thing called fish.

I don't think they previsioned the shows succes
