On this week's episode, Kate and Rachel indulge a little bit and talk about a topic that they find interesting as lovers of the hospitality industry, and that is Michelin star restaurants.

This was a make or break decision for many restaurants, but it also made the Michelin star fine dining experience, which is usually exclusive to impossible to get reservations and an even more impossible to pay price tag, more attainable to the average person. These restaurants have also created innovative takeout and pickup options, which can be inspiration for anyone who is listening!
