Book Club Monday
I am trying to catch up on all the movies I have missed before the Oscars air on February 28th! Even though Burnt is not nominated, it was first on my list because of how much I love Bradley Cooper. This movie will not disappoint!! I really enjoyed it so much. The story goes like this,
Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) was once a top chef in Paris until
drugs and alcohol led to a meltdown that put his career on hold. After
moving from New Orleans to London, Adam gets a shot at redemption when
his former maitre d’ (Daniel Brühl) reluctantly hires him as the head
chef of his fine-dining restaurant. Demanding
perfection from his newly formed staff (Sienna Miller, Omar Sy), the
acerbic and temperamental Jones gets a second chance to fulfill his
dream of earning a third Michelin star. – IMBD 2015
Then I got thinking of Michelin stars and how important they are in the culinary world. I heard it once described as this….one is GOOD, 2 is AMAZING and 3 if FOR THE GODS!!!! Here in New York I researched which restaurants actually held the prestigious honor of earning Michelin Stars! Here is what I found…how many have you visited?
