"Stars losing their shine"

Shortly after leaving BOKA, in Chicago, IL, they were awarded one Michelin Star. For some of those that don't know here is an explanation of the star. This is something to be very proud of for the staff, the owners, and the frequent diners as the star is something sought after by many chefs worldwide. This holds particularly true in  Chicago where the guide was just published for the first time this fall.
Michelin Guide, and their stars, are great; however, there are some discrepancies with the places they consider one star, two stars, or three stars.
For example, to say that Schwa and Graham Elliot  both were awarded one star is quite amazing. Some people speculated that Schwa would receive not one, but three stars. And others wondered if GE would even be awarded one. In the end they received the same score. Most of these predictions were by Chicago natives, foodies and local industry pros. People who dine at these places as a hobby, a profession, an addiction.

Michelin is the best foodie guide out there. It tops the ever so popular Zagat guide, and online resources such as www.restaurantrow.com I hope, and I'm certain I'm not alone, that they rally and get their guide back on their feet because in addition to discrepancies, imagine the omissions that leave everyone thinking why? Regardless, here is a little article that caused this rant.
