A recent study published in the Strategic Management Journal revealed that restaurants with a Michelin star are actually more likely to close in subsequent years due to the immense pressure it creates on their operations, suggesting that the accolade may harm, rather than help, long-term success.
Providing evidence of the flawed perception surrounding Michelin stars, Daniel B. Sands from University College London argued that while diners assume a Michelin star guarantees greater attention and demand, the reality is often far different.
Although chefs crave accolades like Michelin stars, many have chosen to return them, citing that the prestige can become a burdensome and detrimental force for their business.
Marco Pierre White, who famously returned three Michelin stars, questioned the credibility of Michelin inspectors, stating that their judgments do not always encompass the true artistry of culinary creation.
