Pay attention, people. As stated in the article, It’s hosted by Jesse Burgess. Ramsay is just producing it. In the trailer it appears to be a more serious documentary which also lifts the veil somewhat for the first time on the Michelin Inspectors and seems to interview them anonymously for how their process works. Actually looks interesting and unlike anything else I’ve seen relating to cooking on TV, and Ramsay is nowhere to be seen in the trailer.
Yes, Burgess is also a lisping nonce z-lister.

Who the heck cares about that? Who the heck is interested in knowing how Michelin ratings work?

Tim Cook's spending priorities:

1. Celebrity names for APPLE TV PLUS (Sweet, sweet service revenue!)
...
...
...
99. Bugfixing operating system fundamentals (having a functioning OS is irrelevant to Wallstreet)
 
It would be more interesting if they got Ramsey on camera to discuss the publicity stunts he performed in chasing his own stars. Ramsay paid someone to "steal" the reservation book from his own restaurant "Aubergine" and framed his former mentor Marco Pierre White for the act. Ramsay later confessed to having staged the whole thing and called it an act of "genius". He also got a BBC crew to hide in the bushes and film him at one of Marco's weddings so he could "prove" how important he was. All of Ramsay's stunts, all of his TV shows and appearances, Marco is still known to be the far superior chef by every conceivable metric.
Also if they get Marco on camera to discuss why he returned all of his stars and denounced the Michelin guide and their stars would be a wonderful counterpoint to the profiles of those chefs actively chasing their stars.
 
Do I get one episode free, then $2.99 per ep after that? Seems like more and more content is extra cost beyond the subscription cost for AppleTV+…very annoying to me. Would def watch this if not extra cost. But then my free 3-month trial expires Oct 14 so I’ll have to be quick about it as I don’t plan to subscribe.

I admit I do like Netflix’s new cooking series called Next Gen CHEF taking place at the Culinary Institute of America. And of course the perennial fav The Great British Baking Show that doesn’t seem to grow old even as the hosts do.
 
Paying attention 🫡"New Apple TV+ Series From Gordon Ramsay Premieres Next Month" It lost me at Gordon Ramsay.

But not paying attention to the distinction between the terms 'from' and 'featuring'.

It's similar to the 'from the mind of', or '[x] director presents', when a film isn't directed by that actual name.

Who? Well, people who are interested in learning about many things. I'm curious. I'm intelligent. I'm always interested in learning something new. I choose not to be ignorant. Others prefer ignorance.
 
Had some friends post *very* critical reviews about Feld that went viral - wonder if they'll be posted.
Also know people that have become friends with Norm (Carino) because they eat there so often. He's so grumpy but it's entertaining to watch if you are sitting at their kitchen counter.
 
Maybe I’m just a cynic, but when there’s so much secrecy and money at stake, obtaining a Michelin star seems ripe for corruption and bribes.
 
All Apple has to do is start taking software quality seriously again, and I'll shut up.

It's Cook's decision to instead invest billions into trying to convince people they need another subscription.
I don’t disagree about the quality of software. I just don’t think they are spending all that money on TV+ ‘instead’ of software quality. They are so cashed up they could do largely anything they want. Yes, absolutely put much more resourcing into software QA. But I don’t think that needs to come at the expense of what has been some excellent quality TV+ content.
