"One of France’s leading chefs has lost his court case against the Michelin Guide after it downgraded his restaurant from three to two stars.
In a case that became known as Cheddargate, Marc Veyrat sued the respected guide claiming it had made a “profoundly offensive” suggestion that he had used the English cheese in one of his signature soufflé dishes.
He said it was a matter of honour and demanded evidence that the “incompetent” Michelin inspector had even dined at his restaurant, and that they hand over their notes.
Michelin accused Veyrat of behaving like a “narcissistic diva” suffering from “pathological egotism”."
