Worth seeing Arte documentary about the fight for the stars. Anyone who has a Michelin star is a made chef. But is that really still in keeping with the times? Fewer and fewer top chefs are willing to submit to the pressure and hierarchy of starred cuisine. In search of freedom, they go new ways.
Some star chefs even voluntarily give up their Michelin star. Like Maria Groß, who was once one of the youngest star chefs, but left her restaurant. She no longer felt like standing in the kitchen late at night and passing on the pressure to her employees. Why they and many other top restaurateurs boycott the dictates of the stars is the subject of an arte Re: report by Jörg Daniel Hissen.
