What the actual fuck?
Michelin Guide expands to NZ for the first time
The Michelin Guide’s arrival in New Zealand is being funded through a $6.3 million partnership between Tourism New Zealand and the International Visitor Levy.
Upston says the partnership recognises hospitality as a key driver of tourism and regional growth.
“Michelin represents an incredible opportunity for the food and beverage industry in four of our key culinary centres,” she said.
“Its presence here will mean more visitors dining in those restaurants and enjoying all New Zealand’s hospitality has to offer supporting small businesses, jobs, and local economies in the process.”
We are spending $6million for the food ratings of rich prick arseholes while the Government cuts back on food for food banks?
This is the food we are serving our children…
…how many Michelin stars would this get?
When parents complained about the dirt cheap shit they were feeding kids, the Prime Minister told them to make their kids marmite sandwiches.
Just as with the changing of rules to allow the rich to buy $5million mansions, paying $6m for the ultra wealthy to rate their food is an obscenity in a country that once believed in egalitarianism.
Luxon’s most pressing issue is to get Trump here to play Golf FFS…
Christopher Luxon hopeful Trump will take up his NZ golf offer
…How much much you hate Jacinda for this total capitulation to the rich to be acceptable to you Kiwi?
How will Michelin stars feed NZs homeless and hungry?
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
I do now wait for the day Michelin will award a Star to a McDonalds restaurant that in his pre-election Photo Opportunity seeking Pavlova Moment Luxon worked in albeit at the time for a few hours???!!!!! That being the McDonald’s he worked in in his younger days.
And so this huge amount of money on Courting the Michelin Stars in order to achieve some resemblance of a Vanity Project comes across as Hollow and with a huge Dollop of Snobbery associated with it. It is Ego and Entitlement at its most Egotistical.
Lets face it but a Compass School lunch here in NZ would achieve a Zero Point Minus Zero One Michelin Star even if that rating does exist. Much like a McDonalds restaurant anywhere around NZ. The contents of those supposedly school lunches would not even be served at Bellamys that MPs enjoy at NZ taxpayers expense. But they have been served in NZ schools.
Sure Compass no longer has a contract but Seymour has taken Over 2 years to acknowledge this and we are now One Year short of the next election. The timing of the extraction of Compass comes across as per usual for me Suspect. And at the same time Seymour in his perfect Arrogance will refuse to admit He Made a Friggin’ Bloody Big Botch Up when it came to Compass.
Meanwhile it is unlikely many of us Bottom Feeders would Ever Want to go into a restaurant because financially it is out of our price range let alone one with a ‘michelin star’ however accoladed it is deemed to be.
And so it shows a ‘michelin star’ restaurant is Only for Those Aristocracy like the Snobbery of the Wealthy who want to Sweep the Poor/Homeless off the streets of a CBD whilst They(the Wealthy)eat Cake and the Poor Gruel.
That is the likes of this government will shunt aside a problem like the Homeless because Overall They Only Care about Themselves and Their Egos.
