China News Service, October 15th. According to the "Central News Agency" report, the "Michelin Guide", which has a profound influence on the catering industry, originally planned to award stars to restaurants in California based on the pre-epidemic catering reviews, but it is considered to be affected by the epidemic. In addition to the opinions of the industry that has been hit hard by the wildfire, it is decided not to publish the evaluation in 2020.

　　The Michelin Guide was founded in 1900 by the French Michelin Tire Company. The purpose at the time was to recommend restaurants, hotels, gas stations and car repair shops to drivers.

With the popularity of private cars, the "Michelin Guide" has gradually become a travel guide for the middle class. It has been divided into a dining version (cover is red) and a travel version (cover is green), and it is popular all over the world.

　　According to reports, the "Michelin Guide" issued a press release stating that the above decision was made based on feedback from restaurants that were hit by the new crown virus and California wildfires.

This means that the 2020 California Michelin Guide will not announce the highest-honored star-rated restaurants, "Bibendum Recommendation" and "The Michelin Plate" (The Michelin Plate).

Data map: On September 28, local time, in Calistoga, California, wildfires continued to rages.

The picture shows local people looking at the forest fire in the distance.

　　Pleneck, the international director of the Michelin Guide, said in a statement: "The catering industry is still facing huge challenges to stand up again."

　　In the past, many international tourists came to California restaurants recommended by the Michelin star system.

In 2019, the number of restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area that received three Michelin stars is far more than that of other regions in the United States, which has earned the area a reputation as a "exquisite dining center".

　　However, the 2020 decision of the Michelin Guide also reflects the opinions of many chefs in the San Francisco Bay Area over the past few months.

Aaron London, the chef and operator of Al's Place, a restaurant that has been awarded one Michelin star for five consecutive years, said in September that the catering industry struggled to survive the epidemic and made the award lose its value.

　　Lunden said that the large-scale economic recession and epidemic have caused customers to feel insecure in their meals. From the perspective of the catering industry, he believes that the Michelin star will not have a positive meaning.

　　Despite this, California’s “Michelin Guide” will still hold a virtual “family dinner” on October 27 to celebrate the addition of more than 20 restaurants to the “Inspector Discoveries”.
