  • Deflated Michelin

    R Matta, Padma Panchapakesan•ARTICLE•Gastronomica The Journal of Food…•2021

    Receiving a Michelin star was once the ultimate culinary reward for the hard work and dedication that chefs have demonstrated in making their restaurants a success.

In recent years, several chefs have given up their Michelin status, closed the doors on their restaurants, and begun a new professional life away from haute cuisine. Many have opened up about the reasons leadi…

However, we know less about the consequences culinary heritage has in the lives of local communities and individuals concerned with it, in particular…
