@JacobJaber This take is 100% spot on. I've never had a mind-blowing meal at a Michelin restaurant. I think it is more about being able to say you dined at a Michelin restaurant than it is the actual food (i.e. status signaling)

@AdamNMayer Ya. Sometimes the drinks are good but it can get stuffy in some of those places

@JacobJaber Agreed! Michelin tasting menus are something worth experiencing once or twice in your life, but I’d take this burger for $8 over the $300 tasting menu every day. Just as much joy.

@jesse_konig That looks delicious

@JacobJaber I generally agree, but there are some really really good Michelin star restaurants. Melisse in Los Angeles and Alinea in Chicago, just to name a couple.

@NersesAposhian I’ve heard Alinea is a cool experience

@JacobJaber I’m with ya. And a taco truck

@JacobJaber truffle is overused and abused

@JacobJaber We tried Monarch in Dallas and it was garbage. Chilis is better

@JacobJaber Both can be great, totally different culinary experiences

@JacobJaber I’ve gone to in n out after Michelin lol

@JacobJaber I usually am in your camp but I think they do get some points with experimentation and expanding the potential of our main stream food options as they keep innovating!

@JacobJaber I can’t stand stuffy restaurants where the menu is in English and i still have no idea what I just read

@JacobJaber Michelin restaurants are purely for experience. I never get full in them. Burger and crispy fries in a red basket wil always beat out the taste of any Michelin

@JacobJaber Amen

@JacobJaber Mmmm 🤤

@JacobJaber On most days, I think I'd agree.

@JacobJaber The exception here IMO is Chinese Michelin star or Bib Gourmand. @MisterJius as an example.

@JacobJaber Good food doesn’t have to be Michelin rated but some burgers are Michelin rated too 🙃

@JacobJaber agreed
