Are you asking, what is the Michelin guide? Is that the tires? Well, sort of.
The Michelin Guides are a series of guide books published by the French tyre company Michelin for more than a century. The Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments. The acquisition or loss of a star can have dramatic effects on the success of a restaurant. Michelin also publishes a series of general guides to cities, regions, and countries, the Green Guides.
