The Michelin Red Guide, the only restaurant \u201cbible\u201d published by a tire company, needs to be retired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its New York City book \u2014 which released its\u00a0star ratings\u00a0online Thursday \u2014 has meant near zilch to anyone except Michelin-mad foreigners and ego-inflated chefs since it launched its hilariously error-strewn first edition in 2005.<\/p>\n

The 2021 book is all that, and worse. Announced eight months later than the customary September or October release, its star ratings for 68 eateries are as out of date as a Howard Johnson\u2019s paper placemat menu \u2014 and about as useful.<\/p>\n

Michelin should have waited until this coming fall to bless Big App<\/a>le diners with its imperious, anonymously compiled twinklers. Instead, it plunged ahead with star rankings that might not reflect reality after the most tumultuous restaurant-industry upheaval in history.<\/p>\n

Michelin\u2019s three-star winners are exactly the same as in the 2020 guide, which came out in pre-pandemic October 2019. The two-star roster is mostly the same as in 2020.<\/p>\n

The three-star galaxy consists of exactly the same five Manhattan places: Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Masa, Per Se and Chef\u2019s Table at Brooklyn Fare.<\/p>\n

But of course, Eleven Madison Park will be a completely different restaurant than it was when Michelin last visited when it reopens on June 10 with an\u00a0all-vegan menu\u00a0after a 15-month shutdown.<\/p>\n

Even without 180-degree concept reversals, no restaurant in town has been reopened long enough to properly critique as they grapple with unprecedented upheavals to the dining scene.<\/p>\n

\"Eleven
Eleven Madison Park\u2019s three Michelin stars hardly reflect the current or future experience. The restaurant has been closed for 15 months, and, when it reopens, it will serve a new vegan menu.<\/figcaption>

Take with a grain of sel Michelin\u2019s claim that some inspections were done since recent indoor reopenings. One-star B\u00e2tard wasn\u2019t likely among them: It reopened exactly two days ago on May 5. Certain other important places on which the guide bestows stars actually remain closed \u2014 among them, the Modern, Le Jardinier, the Clocktower,\u00a0Le Coucou and Blanca.<\/p>\n

The restaurant world hasn\u2019t been normal since March 13, 2020. Most places served only outdoors, if at all, until two months ago. The tire-testers likely couldn\u2019t have experienced many menus since February of 2020. Often chaotic and improvised outdoor service doesn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n

Among those back in business, few can be their former selves after mass staff turnovers, ever-changing state and city rules, and the loss of many customers to the Hamptons and beyond.<\/p>\n

Since the March 2020 shutdown, major publications have held off on giving star ratings for a simple reason: It\u2019s unfair both to readers and restaurants to subject places to unforgiving micro-scrutiny when chefs and employees are doing their best just to get by in extreme circumstances.<\/p>\n

But to Michelin, all\u2019s fair in a pandemic.\u00a0Bon app\u00e9tit!\n <\/p><\/div>\n
