General PSA - Michelin stars
Because this came up in a conversation I had last week.
The context was someone talking about being excited to visit a restaurant with one Michelin star in Chicago (the closest city to my city to find a starred restaurant). Someone else said "One star? So it's terrible?"
Pause, rewind.
The Michelin star system is ascending, not descending (as a five-star rating system is). You can have either zero Michelin stars (99% of of the world' restaurants), ONE star (currently about 2900 restaurants worldwide), TWO stars (about 500) or THREE stars (currently 145).
There are 6 three-star restaurants in London. Four in New York. This is the highest distinction a restaurant can achieve.
This is why you hear about chefs "earning their star," when you go from the rank and file to having a star. And once you have one, you can earn more...or you can lose it. Restaurants are re-evaluated to ensure they're maintaining their standards.
The Michelin guide does not review only fancy restaurants. Many of the starred restaurants are very high-end, but lots aren't. I ate a one-starred restaurant in San Francisco called State Bird Provisions which you'd be fine to go to in jeans and a tee. It was great. There's a food truck that has a Michelin star.
Michelin also only covers certain cities. They're continually expanding, but right now in the US they cover New York, DC, Chicago, California, central Florida (Miami/Tampa/Orlando), Colorado, Atlanta, and just recently added the five major Texas cities (Dallas/San Antonio/Austin/Houston/Fort Worth) although those results haven't been released yet. They cover a lot more in Europe and Asia (the Michelin guide is French).
And yes, it's the same company as the tire manufacturer. Early in their history they wanted people to travel more by car, and use their tires, so they started writing and printing guidebooks for travel. This evolved into restaurant ratings, and somehow along the way it became the ne plus ultra of restaurant hierarchies.

Former bartender with a wee bit of sommelier and cicerone training and I can confirm that these are spot on pairings. If wine isn't your thing, I would also suggest a bourbon or sherry cask whiskey for dick as these types of whiskey and umami are friends that love to compliment each other the whole night. A citrusy, floral gin for pussy, as this will play well with the sour and acidity notes.
For the beer drinkers, a brown ale will enhance the nutty, earthy flavour of dick, whereas stout will counteract the saltiness, especially if you prefer to consume the reward for your efforts. A fruit beer (especially anything apricot), will balance out the acidity of pussy. A witbier or pilsner would also go nicely. If you're a fan of tart and tangy, double down and go with a sour beer such as a Berliner Weisse, or Fruit Lambic. Happy dining. 😉
while they share a similar base flavor, dick tastes more umami while pussy tastes more acidic, though recent menstruation conveys an overwhelming metallic flavor that some diners object to (though i am not one of them). recommended wine pairings are
Deck Covered With a fireplace and an awning, a sizable arts and crafts backyard deck
Large Wine Cellar Large southwest-style wine cellar design with display racks
