Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kias" data-source="post: 162131" data-attributes="member: 9496">Men are the best cooks would be merely a generalization.  Not all men can cook.  Neither can all women.Historically men are better chefs.  Only 4 women have elevated their restaurants to receive three Michelin stars.  This is kind of an off kilter fact too, as historically there's not a whole lot of female chefs, when compared to the number of male chefs. So if you do the algebra, only males can be the best chefs.I'm not saying the Michelin Red Book is the De Facto Standard for restaurants, but it is.  Even with the recent allegations against Michelin, it still is the go to guide.  Though Gault Millau: Votre Référence Gastronomique, Michelin Red Book's main competition, is giving them a run for their money!  I just wish they'd start up a U.S.A. version so I can read it.  I don't read French that well.  I guess it has much easier to understand ratings, and is much more verbose in their descriptions.  If you've ever picked up a Red Book, it's very terse in their descriptions and they use a lot of different color stars, dogs, forks, and other weird symbols to rate things.  However, Michelin is slow to give stars, and slow to take away stars.  Gault Millau might have a highly rated restaurant that's closed for business before they get dinner prepped!  It's a risk they take. Some restaurants are actually thinking before accepting a Michelin star.  These stars can make and break restaurants.  Both receiving stars (They can not handle the increased bookings) and stars getting removed (Not getting any bookings).The Red Book is in it's 113th year.  Gault Millau, not so much. So it goes on.Either way, Michelin has thick rubber treads with run flat technology, and they will make it through the recent allegations just fine.--I also cook all the time with my kids and wife, and anyone else who shows up and wants to cook!  I love it!But if the coat goes on, and you have no idea what I mean when I say, "Side" I will remove you from my kitchen, you will get hurt, and you will get hurt bad.  It's ok if you get hurt today though, my wife is at work ready to receive you.  House rule number one, remember? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
