Today I'm joined by Bro. Aaron, and we're discussing the Michelin Star Rating and how some of the same criteria can also apply to Sunday school.

The Michelin Star is a prestigious award given to restaurants by the Michelin Guide, a widely recognized and respected culinary guide. It signifies exceptional quality and is a symbol of excellence. 

The Michelin Star is a highly sought-after award, signifying that the restaurant is among the best in its city or region. 

In 1889, two brothers founded a tire company, and in 1900, they published a free guide for motorists that included maps, tire repair information, and restaurant recommendations. 

By 1926, this was a paid guide, and Michelin Tire Company began awarding single stars to fine dining establishments. 

In 1931, 3-star ratings were introduced: one star for “a very good restaurant”, two for “excellent cooking, worth a detour,” and three for “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”. 

In 1936, Michelin published the criteria for the star rankings:

1. High-quality ingredients 
2. Mastery of flavor blending 
3. Technique and skill 
4. Chef’s personality 
5. Consistency 

We use the above criteria to discuss how this applies to children's ministry.
