Fake news or not: Michelin stars leaked again
The new Michelin stars will officially be awarded on Monday, April 24. But just like two years ago—in 2021, some winners were accidentally announced earlier—there is once again a minor controversy surrounding the Michelin ceremony. Some more stars have apparently been leaked. But there is doubt in the culinary world: could this time be fake news?
Three new two-star restaurants and ten new restaurants with one Michelin star. It can all be seen in a leaked photo. For Sidney Schutte of restaurant Spectrum in Amsterdam, it would be a real celebration: he would supposedly receive a third star if the information in the photo is correct. It is not known where the photo came from or who made and distributed it.
8 new Bib Gourmands
There would also be four new green stars and 26 new Bib Gourmands. And the latter is what makes many people skeptical; Michelin recently announced that there are 8 new Bib Gourmands in the 2023 selection.
Michelin stars fake news?
Michelin’s spokesperson emphasizes that there has been no (another) leak: ‘This is not official communication on behalf of Michelin, and the information is also incorrect. Last week, we announced 8 new Bib Gourmand restaurants in the Netherlands, not 26 as the image indicates. To be clear, this is not a leak but fake news.’
Of course, we are extremely curious to find out who will receive a star on Monday. More on that later, because we will of course announce it immediately after the official Michelin ceremony. So stay tuned!
