They’re like the secret agents of the culinary world and dine at the finest restaurants at least 350 times a year.
“When we look at the selection of restaurants for California, of course, we are always impressed by the diversity of the cooking style, but also by the fact that many of these restaurants are fully offering a unique California-style experience,” Poullennec said.
As far as the most memorable bites the anonymous chief inspector tasted across more than 300 dining destinations during lunch and dinner service, there was a particular sweetbread dish with Japanese black curry he thought was “absolutely phenomenal.” Still, he remained tight-lipped about which San Francisco-based restaurant the star dish belonged to ahead of tonight’s ceremony.
“So many bites over so much time,” he said. “When I look back at the inspector’s report, that was something that was really, really notable and just speaks to what the chef is doing there combining traditional techniques with the chef’s background and modern products — so it was just really fabulous.”
As the Golden State’s fine dining establishments await the news of the latest Michelin-star honors, the undercover restaurant inspector said each year he not only looks forward to what California cuisine has in store for diners but what San Francisco has in particular. “I think San Francisco continues to be such a really interesting area that has its own really strong talent base and also draws talent from elsewhere,” he told SFGATE. “Every year, we just look forward to starting selection again and seeing what it’s going to reveal.”
