Controversial Michelin Guide comes to Canada
Right now, undercover inspectors from France\u2019s prestigious Michelin Guide are visiting Canada for the first time, to decide if any of Toronto\u2019s restaurants are worthy of a coveted Michelin Star.\n\n\nGetting that designation from the de facto gastronomical authority can propel a chef and their restaurant to stardom.
