Are you tired of all these articles covering the star-rated restaurants in Shanghai’s first Michelin Guide? Doesn’t matter, here’s another one. But you should know that this article is rated 3 stars by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Guide, so it stands out from all those other articles.
(The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man guiding New Yorkers through their best restaurants.)
Like the Michelin Guide and its star rating system for a town and its restaurants, it’s a big deal for any article or publication to be considered for the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s guide. It’s like, we made it, man. We are most excellent, and that big fat rubber baron said so.

In case you’re somehow only now realizing it, yes, the “Michelin” of Michelin Guides is one and the same with Michelin Tires. Did you know that pale rubber golem you call the Michelin Man has a name? It’s Bibendum, or Bib, or Bibelobis. His name is Latin for “drink”, from a line of ancient Roman Poetry. Bib used to wear pince-nez glasses, smoke cigars, and piss on anything that wasn’t French (not even joking).

The first Michelin Guide was published in 1900. Before then, Michelin was just a pair of French wheel moguls who needed a way to drive up car and therefore tire sales. So they put together a travel guide describing fantastic cities and orgasmic restaurants that you could go to if only you had a car with Michelin tires on it.
