TV chef Gino D’Acampo has slated the Michelin Guide and its famed ‘star’ system as ‘absolute nonsense’.
D’Acampo, who has run a restaurant in the Corn Exchange in Manchester and another in the Arndale, branded the process as merely a marketing exercise. Speaking to Cheshire Live, he said: “I don’t believe in the Michelin star system. I think it is absolutely c**p.
"Because I cannot accept an organisation that knows less than me, judge me. Most of the Michelin stars are absolute nonsense. It is the best marketing ever, but the worst idea ever. Because if you think about it, you get judged by people who know less than you.
