Does Michelin Issue Uni With the Star?

I’m convinced Michelin stars come with a mandatory shipment of uni, eel, cod, and mackerel.

I like seafood, but at some point these ingredients stopped being choices and became proof that dinner is Very Serious. Great chefs should surprise me, not serve the same four sea creatures in increasingly elaborate arrangements.

And mackerel and I have history. I eat it for fifteen minutes and burp it for three days, which is an unacceptable return on investment.

There are other creatures in the sea. I checked.
