In 2003, French chef Bernard Loiseau killed himself only because of rumors that his restaurant might lose a star. The rumors were false.
Alain Chapelle had a heart attack for the same reason.
what could take away a Michelin star?
A star can be taken away by checking the quality of the food and the condition of the restaurant as a whole. It is considered the chef's responsibility to inform the restaurant owner of any deficiencies.
It is forbidden to use information about the awarding of a star. If a restaurant is found to be "bragging", Michelin has the right to remove it from the ranking. People should learn about the stars they receive from the Michelin Guide.

Everyone makes mistakes
In 2017, Michelin mistakenly awarded a star to the roadside café for workers Le Bouche à Oreill instead of the luxury Parisian restaurant of the same name. During the two days of the star, the café in the town of Bourges had a record number of visitors and the phone was ringing off the hook.

Not everyone needs a star
Some restaurant owners and chefs are turning away from celebrities. For example, the 70-year-old owner of a popular street food outlet in Thailand, Jay Fai, asked to have her restaurant removed from the guide because she was not satisfied with working 11 hours a day.
