      I live in Umbria, Central Italy, every once in a while are times in year where you can purchase black sommer truffle ( not so fancy as his one of course) for 50 to 90 € for a whole kilogram, no kidding, only because they found it all together at the same time and have just couple of day to sell it, you can also freeze it but after a month loose almost every aroma

      @@geesegoose6174 The 2 star is basically how the food is presented. Do you see how they put efforts into smallest details when serving food? 1* is basic taste, cleanliness, pricing, and orderly service. 2* is exceptional presentation. 3* is exceptional cooking technique, something not even many professional veteran chefs could master. Michelin inspectors were/are all professional chefs, so this 3* is something about "inner circle joke". No, there's no "Joe Bastianich" working as Inspector, although food critic's guides are sometimes considered.
      I've been working at many non Michelin fine dinings, and the most often thing that stopped them from getting any * is delayed serving that happened way too many times (yes, 1-3 times/day is too many). Restaurant has an unexceptional chaotic setting, so this thing is basically "daily life". That's why Michelin Star is that valuable. Even 1* means you're perfect, literally. 2* means you're Picasso, but 3* means you're the Newton of culinary.
      The reason some chefs refused Michelin Star is because they don't wanna get "pressured" into such labeling/trophy that "forced" them to be perfect all the time. They just wanna be lowkey and relaxed, without burdening their employees. These people are the anti thesis of Gordon's forehead wrinkles.
      With that being said, if I ever happened to own a restaurant, I value Yelp's (or similar website) reviews more than Michelin one. As long as the customers aren't disgusted by anything and happy with the taste, it's enough.

      @@thebluescaptain It’s like Marco Pierre White would always say. The 2nd Star is the peak of achievement when it comes to cooking alone. There’s sublime ingredients and presentation of course, but for me it’s always been that fine balancing act between creativity and flavor that matters the most. The 3rd Star I can’t always pin down. The cooking has to be sublime, of course, but there’s always something more at a 3 Star, something I can’t always explain. “Ambiance” is too plain and too general, but it’s something about the atmosphere. It’s exclusive, yes, but it’s less about mere luxury. It’s that exclusivity that makes it a true experience, something that only comes around once in a lifetime, if you understand where I’m going with this. There are critics (really amateur bloggers) around who say that flavor is the most important, or ingredients, and then there are some who just care about pretty presentation and expensive items like truffles and wagyu. But what none of these people seem to understand is that it’s really not just one thing over the others, it’s that perfect combination of all aspects about fine dining, a combination that is almost always entirely different from chef to chef. Anyway, great comment, you’re obviously very knowledgeable!!!

Also love the fact that he runs with wild caught fish only, that should keep the job much more interesting as you always have to be ready to adjust!

      At what point does any of what he says about that particular dish give off the impression that he is giving the dish greater importance than what it actually has? Emulation is not being pretentious. Besides, there are plenty of other oyster similar dishes much closer in technique to what he does than the Arpege egg.

Nothing in your "detailed" description addresses how the chef is affecting greater importance to his dish than actually exists. Emulating something doesnt make you pretentious.
      You saying what a "great chef" /always/ is is a good example of being pretentious. Yes you can consult a dictionary and please take the time to do so because you are using the word incorrectly.
