Focusing on ten world-class chefs, Three Stars depicts the everyday drama of
life in gourmet restaurants and includes exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes
access to these multi-talented culinary artisans as they explore new
creations in their gastronomic laboratories, hunt for exquisite ingredients in
local markets, and gather rare edible plants along rough coastlines.
By highlighting not only their culinary philosophies but also their daily kitchen
routines, the film reveals the business of cooking on the highest level. It also
opens a window into what goes into the world’s most important restaurant
review book – the iconic red Michelin Guide.
“The dishes dazzle in this cinematic helping of some of the world’s finest restaurants. Most tantalizing...serious foodies will chow down!” - The New York Times
“Three Stars examines what the Michelin rating means to diners and how it influences chefs and owners in the evolution of their businesses. Do you become more adventurous? Or maintain the status quo? The film captures the thin membrane separating the theatricality with which patrons are treated in the dining rooms from the chaos, noise, and impressive culinary heroics in the kitchens.” - Village Voice
“A sensual pleasure.” - The Onion
“Most captivating!” - Chicago Reader
“A welcome addition to the endlessly fascinating process of how food is prepared!” - New City (Chicago)
