French chef loses Michelin lawsuit over star demotion 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA French court on Tuesday rejected a lawsuit brought by a star chef seeking to force the prestigious Michelin restaurant guide to hand over its reasons for stripping his restaurant of a third star just a year after he won it. The shock demotion came just 12 months after Veyrat’s remarkable comeback after years of personal struggles, with the furious showman chef accusing the Michelin inspectors of making a “mistake”. “I really don’t need them,” Veyrat told AFP shortly before the ruling, saying business was up seven percent over the past year. “I have a lot of respect for Michelin in France… but they made a mistake in my case, and they need to recognize it,” Veyrat told AFP.
