A Michelin-trained chef has criticised the Michelin Guide after Tuesday night’s inaugural awards ceremony in a post on social media.
Jack Crosti, who has worked for Michelin-starred kitchens across the UK and Europe, voiced his support for Michelin coming to New Zealand, but described the ceremony as a 'joke' and questioned the selection process.
He says this was a 'once-in-a-lifetime' event for chefs and operators and it wasn't delivered properly.
"It felt very disconnected...some restaurants were left out, some others were included, there's no consistency, really."
