Perhaps Gorgon Ramsey is being a little bit hypocritical when he calls for restaurants to be forced to serve home-grown, locally-sourced produce, and fined if out of season ingredients appear on their menus. After all he has built a reputation running restaurants in the middle of London where there is a distinct scarcity of [...]

By midnight_trucker¡Vaya!, ha pasado ya más de un mes desde que publiqué el último artículo...a mí me da la sensación de que hubiesen pasado seis… Y es que este último mes ha sido un tanto complicado. La hernia discal de mi madre robó todo el protagonismo a Olentzeros, Reyes Magos y Santa Clauses, por lo que las navidades fueron oficialmente canceladas en mi casa, casi nada más empezar.A nadie se le pasa por la imaginación, cuando planifica los menús de Navidades, que acabará haciendo las comidas más importantes del año en la cafetería de un hospital. Pero claro, si eso es triste, mucho más lo es para el paciente. La comida le llega de manos del personal, en unas antiestéticas bandejas plásticas, que las depositan velozmente, como huyendo, antes de tener que oír la fr

I’ve been a cyclist for 15 years now and used a lot of different tyre levers that are available on the market. Several years ago, I encountered these rather strange yellow tyre levers embossed with the single word “michelin”. Of course, they’re not really embossed, they’re injection moulded, but that’s beside the point. They’re manufactured from some [...]

Michelin's first ever restaurant guides for Los Angeles and Las Vegas were accidentally leaked on their website a week early. Apparently, this is the first time such a leak has happened in Michelin's 100 year history; they have also confirmed the authenticity of the leaked list. LA gourmets may feel a little miffed with no restaurant getting three stars; however, Las Vegas now has one certified three-star restaurant, Joël Robuchon. Surprisingly, Thomas Keller's Las Vegas restaurant didn't get a star. While the guides become officially available on Nov 20th, here's an early look at those which earned the coveted Michelin stars :LA Michelin Three Stars (signifying exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey) :None.LA Michelin Two Stars (means an excellent cuisine, worth a detour) :Mélisse, Santa MonicaSpago, Beverly HillsUrasawa, Beverly HillsLA Michelin One Star (meaning a very good restaurant in its category) :Asanebo, Studio CityCut, Beverly HillsJoe's, VeniceLa Botte, Santa

Two years ago, Michelin began rating restaurants in the USA. Michelin stars carry so much weight in Europe, that losing a star has been known to drive chefs to suicide. The French tyre company has been publishing its restaurant guides for Europe since 1900. Michelin's first guides for the US released two years ago covered New York and the Bay Area. In November they will release their first guides for Las Vegas and Los Angeles.This year, 27 Bay Area and Wine Country restaurants recieved at least one Michelin Star. Here's the list for those of you who are interested; the ones marked new! made it to this list for the first time in the 2008 Guide.Michelin Three Stars (signifying exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey) :The French Laundry, Yountville (I am not surprised; you can find a brief mention in one of my earlier posts here)Michelin Two Stars (means an excellent cuisine, worth a detour) :Aqua, San FranciscoChej TJ, Mountain View new!Cyrus, HealdsburgManresa, Los GatosMichael

Aujourd'hui encore, un post sans recette... mais j'ai été overbooked et aussi pas mal en balade ces derniers temps... mais promis, après ce compte rendu, je vous poste mes derniers essais culinaires... Dernièrement, le groupe Status Quo se produisait au Zenith à Toulouse. Véritable fan de ce groupe mythique depuis les années 70/80, je ne pouvais pas rater ça! Et quitte à aller à Toulouse, pourquoi ne pas faire un repas chez Michel Sarran, Chef doublement étoilé du Michelin? Un petit coup de fil à mon amie toulousaine Chantal pour lui proposer de partager notre repas, et nous voilà tous les 3 chez Sarran à l'heure du déjeuner. Trois menus sont possibles à la Carte: un à 48 euros servi uniquement pour le déjeuner, un autre à 98 euros composé de 3 plats fromages et dessert, et un menu surprise à 125 euros. Un petit peu pressés par le temps, plutôt que commander un menu avec de nombreux plats, nous nous orientons tous les 3 vers les plats à la

Today, the second edition of the Bay Area Michelin guide was released, with 34 restaurants receiving a one star rating or higher. Out of this list, Karen and I have been fortunate enough to visit a few of them: Bouchon, Boulevard, Gary Danko, Quince, Range, Redd, Sushi Ran, Cyrus, and Manresa, with the last two restaurants garnering a two star rating.In addition, the guide lists 50 other Bay Area restaurants which earned a Bib Gourmand rating. According to the guide, this rating is given to restaurants that are "an inspector's favorite for good value. For $40 or less, you can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert (not including tax and gratuity)." Out of these restaurants, Karen and I have sampled the fare at A16, Cafe Gibraltar, Delfina, Hong Kong Flower Lounge, Junnoon, Kokkari Estiatorio, Koo, Nopa, Perbacco, Poleng Lounge, Pres a Vi, rmn, Tomasso's, and Yank Sing. We've also visited the predecessor of TWO (namely, Hawthorne Lane).(Edited 10/24/2007 to include link

Le Bibendum est la mascotte de Michelin depuis la fin du XIXème siècle. Cette longévité exceptionnelle en fait l'une des plus vieilles mascottes en activité. On retrouve d'ailleurs outre-atlantique le Bibendum dans un advergame de Football américain. Comme quoi le sport conserve... Seule déception, c'est que le Bibendum auvergnat préfère le foot américain au rgby alors qu'il est ancré dans une ville très rugueuse (Clermont Ferrand qui est vice champion de France)sources: advergame

Fuente: autoprofesional.comEn una entrevista concedido al diario L’Expansion, Michel Rollier, gerente del Grupo Michelin, ha explicado que el mercado francés del neumático representa menos de un 5% de las ventas mundiales del grupo pero que, desde un punto de vista industrial, es un eslabón importante de la empresa. "Tenemos más de 25.000 personas empleadas en Francia, y un 70% de los neumáticos fabricados se exportan", destacó, añadiendo que las más fuertes perspectivas de crecimiento de Michelin se encuentran en Asia y Europa del Este. "La aceleración es espectacular en Rusia, donde nuestras ventas de neumáticos para 4x4 ya sobrepasan las de Alemania, primer mercado europeo." Disponemos de una fábrica en Rusia, pero hay que invertir. En valor absoluto, nuestros principales mercados están todavía en la Europa del Oeste y en Norteamérica, donde se sitúan nu

I love new technology. This has got to be the greatest breakthrough in automobile technology since airbags. Well, maybe. Michelin has developed a new airless tire that never goes flat. They kind of look a little flimsy but they are definately cool as he((. I wonder how much they are going to cost. Here’s some photos. Radical new tire design by Michelin. The next generation of tires. They had a pair at the Philadelphia car show. These tires are airless and are scheduled to be out on the market very soon. The bad news for law enforcement is that spike strips will not work on these tires. This is what great R&D will do, and just think of the impact on existing technology: A. no more air valves… B. no more air compressors at gas stations… C. no more repair kits… D. no more flats… Scroll down & see. These are actual pictures taken in the South Carolina plant of Michelin.

For OE fitment to its new M3 Coupe, BMW has chosen Michelin’s Pilot Sport tire. The new M3 has a 414bhp V-8 engine and is promoted by BMW M GmbH as a racecar tire for daily use. It can be deduced that Michelin selects its ultimate sports tire, developed in consonance with engineers from BMW M, as a rational option.Michelin stated BMW M GmbH has selected a racing tire made for the street to ensure that its new coupe tightly grips the road and feels like a Formula 1 race car. The tire manufacturer equipped the cars which won both the Driver and the Constructors championships two years in a row. Since the release of the first generation model, Michelin tires have equipped the BMW M3. The manufacturer also fitted other cars produced by BMW M, including the M5 and M6.What’s the fourth generation M3?The E92 model is a car that first arrived in 1986. It had a four-cylinder engine with around 200bhp back then. But now, the new car doubles that with a V8 and 414bhp, but the basic ingredient

The Background: When I ran into Howard and Ben at The Reliance the other day, they asked if I wanted to come along to Le Gavroche on Thursday. Now to be honest, I did have to think about it. A long time. I slept on it. Thinking about the money. And the time. And the food. And the money. But then again, there was the food. And the two stars. And the company, of course. So after much internal deliberation, I said yes. This post...this writing does not come easy. I want to tell you everything, but you will get bored and I will run out of adjectives. (Which, as you may know, are limited to such American classics as "fantastic," "awesome," and "the BEST ever," sprinkled with a few "Oh. My. God"'s.) So I will not digress. Or at least, I will not do so purposefully. The Food (Briefly

Ce fameux personnage, élu quand même "Meilleur logo du siècle" en 2000 (mais je ne sais pas par qui) trouverait son origine dans un échange entre les deux frères Michelin, créateur de la marque.Edouard aurait dit à son frérot en regardant le tas de pneus à l'entrée du stand Michelin lors de l'Exposition Universelle et Coloniale de 1894 à Lyon : « S’il avait des bras, il prendrait l’aspect d’un être humain ! ».Outre l'anecdote, on peut se demander alors pourquoi le Bibendum a été représenté en blanc, alors que les pneus étaient (et sont toujours) noirs ?Et bien parce qu'à l'époque, les trains de pneus étaient emballés de papier de soie.... blanc.Pour en savoir plus sur Bibendum : ici ou làLu dans Direct Soir du 27 juin 2007
