Food Court at your local shopping mall?
How would you judge it?
Is it a shining example of multiculturalism? Or more a salute to accessible mediocrity? |

When you speak of 'stars', you're referring to the Michelin rating system. Which only has 3 stars maximum. No stars for you! Next! ;-) -sw |

There is also the Mobil Travel Guide's system, which has five stars maximum, awarded to such places as Lutece and Jean-Georges in NYC, and Charlie Trotter's in Chicago. Live and learn. Next! -- dgs |

Many local newspapers use a star rating system, but they're hardly well-known authorities on gourmet cuisine. The default star rating system is Michelin. -sw |

The Mobil Travel Guide is a very well-known authority on gourmet cuisine in the United States. It's the USA's equivalent of the Michelin Guide. The Mobil Guide is most certainly *not* a local newspaper - it's nation- wide. > The default star rating system is Michelin. Only in Europe. There is no Michelin Red Guide for the USA (or any part of it). -- dgs |
