Accepted Answer

The Michelin Guide — today the Bible of fine dining — was launched in 1900 free of charge by the tyre maker Michelin to get more motorists on the road. The star system followed in 1926. Three stars then meant "worth a detour"; today it is the highest honour in gastronomy.

De Michelin-gids — vandaag de Bijbel van de fine dining — werd in 1900 gratis uitgegeven door de bandenfabrikant Michelin om automobilisten op de weg te krijgen. Het sterren-systeem volgde in 1926. Drie sterren betekende toen "een omweg waard"; vandaag is het de hoogste eer in de gastronomie.
