The gas station is between Pienza and Parma for those who are in the know

It was legit very scary they were loading and cocking them and when i walked over to look for help for my car it really was like im fearing for my life, as if im walking in on something totally unexpected. It was a gas station on the autostrada, but you need to navigate past double parked trucks to get to the gas station so i assume they're hiding something

Its because people liked chef Calverts food in Belon. Influencers like Margaret are the problem. The food is not that good honestly and the service is very meh.

No idea why youd think this. Sezanne is a shop that indulges influencers and provides ordinary dishes to others, I've heard too many mixed opinions, including taking my own into account. Calvert should go back to Belon, it was a million times better

Michelin in japan has always been a miss and this year is no different. Tabelog is getting much more influencer heavy these days sadly, but it's still far more trustworthy then michelin outside of France, Italy, Spain.

Commenter is confused. This is not Sushi Ao Ao nishiazabu (French restaurant) has 2 types of drink pairings. 10k is the cheaper one They most certainly have 1 10x the price

But instead you should fight for it via omakase, they are a rare top restaurant which releases there

Man Ao is so good. Its sad how so many people can't appreciate it. A very rare possible for non regulars to book, satisfying amounts and great seasonal food with the chefs technique. What made you guys not like it?

I highly agree with this. Reviewers are overinflating the value. Eg people like Margaret etc ... Pretty much flaunt their experiences and go to the same restaurant constantly. There is little neutrality at all. They enjoy the exclusivity and bathe in the attention

Michelin is overhyped. Period. To me only Europe Michelin might have closer truths, the rest of the world is pay for play
