Alexander The Guest Showcases All 3 Michelin-Star Restaurants of the World: Tour, Taste, and Judge for Yourself If the Experience is Worth It
Started a month ago, Alexander The Guest aims to showcase the world of culinary excellence, and the dedication of all the professionals behind the stars and to offer experience, inspiration, and information to anyone in gastronomy. More than 600,000 views and nearly 20,000 subscribers show that the YouTube channel immediately found its audience.
"The explosive success and the huge support from the viewers was a massive surprise—they are rooting together for the success of the channel, and it is already clear that the project is starting to find its audience. I am happy to share the passion that has driven me for years," - says Alexander
Some of the viewers are regular visitors to these restaurants looking for inspiration, others are just discovering this interesting world. There are foodies among them looking for an adventure and professionals for whom information is the value. Every year, the Michelin Guide collects the best places to eat, but no one has ever before presented the 3 Michelin-star restaurants in such detail, all in one place.
The Michelin Guide is a renowned French restaurant and hotel guide, the recognition of which—known as the Michelin star—has become an international symbol of excellence in culinary arts.
To assess hotels and restaurants, a symbol system is used to indicate their price range and comfort. One star is awarded to restaurants that offer a pleasant getaway with excellent food. Two stars go to excellent restaurants that make it worthwhile for travelers to make longer detours, and three stars are given to places worth a separate trip.
Michelin stars are not awarded to chefs, but to restaurants, because the experience requires a real team effort: in most places, there are as many people working in the service and kitchen as there are guests. This is truly the pinnacle of gastronomy, and success requires the coordinated efforts of a professional team. There is no room for error at this level.
One of the most common questions about fine dining—and 3 Michelin star restaurants in particular—is whether they are worth the price, as a visit starts at around €1,000 for two people and the final bill could easily be many times that if you choose a better wine pairing. In contrast to the usual restaurant reviews, this channel examines the whole experience, since in addition to the refined food and the chef's style, the show also includes the welcome, and the rare wine batches, of which there are only a few in the world and which you wouldn't be able to taste anywhere else, and the story—there are restaurants where a special storyteller narrates the dishes of the degustation menu.
Alexander, who owns a 1 Michelin star restaurant, finds it fascinating to observe how a restaurant's various elements - including the dining area, menu, and service - are assembled. He believes that a complete understanding of a restaurant can only be gained by considering the guest's perspective as well. Even in the top tier, things are not always flawless, and Alexander thinks that it is important to evaluate both the positive and negative aspects. He notes that certain things cannot be overlooked in a 3-star restaurant, which might be overlooked elsewhere. Despite this, Alexander stresses that his evaluations are conducted with great respect and admiration, recognizing the hard work and dedication of the professionals behind the stars.
“I’m on a mission – to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine, and sharing what I know with other people. I will be your guide every step of the way. From the design and the service to the food, drinks, and of course the prices. I will be your eyes, ears, taste buds, and wallet. And at the end of the meal, I will boil it down and make the ultimate decision is it really worth it? Welcome to Alexander the Guest”, - says Alexander
