Chefs should get together and rate tires.

Yep - Poshness (and snooty service) seems to be part of the Michelin system, at least if the restaurants we poked our heads into in France were any indication. None of that fussiness at C.P., although we are amused by some of their dogma when we venture in every couple of years. Spending $500+ on dinner for two isn't my idea of fun anyway. You could go to Chez Panisse at least 3 or 4 times for that kind of money, and be 3 or 4 times as inspired.

Frankly, I'm glad that Michelin hasn't loaded up Alice with stars. It would be impossible to get a freakin' reservation if she had three (which she would never get since the restaurant isn't particularly posh).
