"Michelin does its work, I dine in lots of restaurants with great pleasure but I am not the judge.
"There are those who deserve stars and don’t get them, others who have them that don’t deserve them, but I do my job as a chef and restaurateur, Michelin does its job as a guide. Because their judgement is a human judgement, of course they can’t be perfect, but it’s great to get Michelin stars – it’s not so great to lose them.
"I’ve dined at all of my former trainees, I have an opinion on the matter but I’m not going to rate them."
