Understanding the Michelin Guide

Data Visualization

Fall 2024

The Michelin Guide are a series of guide books that have been published by the French tyre company Michelin since 1900. The Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few restaurants in certain geographic areas. I looked at data on which restaurants have been awarded by Michelin, the level of the award, their geographic location and the cuisine they offer. I then visualised these trends showing the bias in Michelin's selection process. This is presented in the form of a social media post.
