@zephzoid The Michelin restaurant guide has officially partnered with Sysco Foods. Sysco also acquired Restaurant Depot for $29B, which was the outlet for independent restaurants. While they’ve quietly joined forces with the premier fine dining rating system. Eating out will now be forever changing: Sysco is the world’s largest foodservice distributor and why many people have noticed they could eat a mozzarella stick or fried pickle thousands of miles away in the US…and it tastes exactly the same. Now regional guides are being presented by Sysco Executives. Sysco already plays a major role over the food you eat at restaurants already, especially after they acquired Restaurant Depot for $29.1 Billion. Prior to the partnership, Michelin had a “Green Star” for sustainable restaurants that validating Chefs practicing zero waste, farm to table, etc… Shortly after the partnership with Sysco began, food writers began to notice they could no longer find the Green Stars list. Just last month, they officially announced it had been discontinued and the chefs in the program could no longer use or promote the distinction. The most odd part about this all is Sysco is known in industry for low quality fast food style products in the industry while Michelin is seen as an independent fine dining quality rating system. No wonder people feel it’s been compromised. Find chefs that truly care about sourcing farm to table and using sustainable practices, we need to save the food system from consolidation.
