In season three, Gabriel tells Emily he dreams of earning a Michelin star with his restaurant one day. As Insider previously reported, getting recognized with a Michelin star is no walk in the park.
On top of ensuring the quality of the food is consistently excellent, a Michelin requirement, Gabriel explains to Emily that a restaurant aspiring to get a star needs to catch the attention of the Michelin inspector team first.
After that, anonymous inspectors may dine at the restaurant at any time to assess if all guests were served top-quality food every shift.
According to the BBC, Michelin inspectors' approach is still largely shrouded in mystery. However, it reports that restaurants must also impress with the quality of the products, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in their cuisine, and value for money.
