    WHICH came first, the Michelin-starred restaurant or its chef? Depends on who you ask: the “without me you wouldn’t even have a star” chef, or the “too bad, you can leave but the star stays with us” restaurant. Both have a point, although the former has to start from scratch if they leave, while the latter gets to lord it over unless they lose it, which might create a satisfying “so there” moment for said chef.
