We ate at Michelin-starred food stalls for under $10. There's a Michelin-starred instant ramen. The rating doesn't necessarily only apply to fancypantserie.
I went out for an $800 meal on my honeymoon and got pizza after bc we were still hungry lol >

Bud, they have Michelin starred diners at this point. I can guarantee you you aren’t a getting your patty melt toasted in a cast iron box floated down a river of lava.
Yeah there are some restaurants that get off on doing the bizarre and unexpected, but people go to those restaurants for the same reason people go to the circus; to be entertained. The food is part of an art show, not simple sustenance.
