THE INGENIOUS STORY BEHIND MICHELIN STARS
If you made a reservation at a Michelin-starred restaurant, you might wonder why an elite restaurant guide has the same name as Michelin, a company that makes tires. The roots of what became an incredibly influential ranking system did not begin with the intent of recommending the highest-quality restaurants. Actually, it was a clever publicity campaign now legendary for its success.
The origin of the Michelin Star goes back to the early days of the automobile. French brothers André and Édouard Michelin founded their self-named tire company in 1889. It was a pioneering move considering that there were fewer than 3,000 automobiles in France at the time. Soon the brothers realized that if people drove more, the tires would eventually deteriorate, which would, as a result, increase Michelin’s sales. So, much like bloggers do today, they launched the Michelin Guide in 1900 to achieve that goal.
The guide contained information that any motorist would needa detailed map, a compendium of mechanics and fuel stations, instructions on how to replace a flat tire, and suitable restaurants and hotels to eat and stay while journeying across France. There was nothing quite like that in the market, so it became an instant hit.
In 1926, the Michelins introduced the concept of using a Michelin Star to rank restaurants. Most of this information came from the company’s traveling salesmen, who spent much of their time on the roads and were, therefore, highly reliable sources. By the late 1920s, Michelin’s restaurant recommendations had become so influential that the brothers started to use undercover reviewers, now known as inspectors, to determine if a restaurant was a fine dining establishment. The ratings put in place in the 1930s stand to this dayone star means the restaurant is “worth a stop,” two means it’s “worth taking a side trip,” and three means it’s “worth a special journey.” Any restaurant under consideration will have served multiple inspectors, who decide whether the establishment delivers a consistent experience in terms of product quality, mastery of cooking techniques and the personality of the chef. What’s more, a restaurant can lose the stars if it doesn’t maintain Michelin Star-worthy standards.
Surprisingly, there’s no evidence that the Michelin Guide ever increased tire sales. However, the brothers made Michelin prestigious not only for tires but also for travel and gourmet cuisine.
