Got a source for your claim Michelin loses money on the guides?

    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
