	Former Michelin man dishes up guide secrets - The Boston Globe
		PARIS -- Michelin's Red Guide, France's famed yardstick of where to eat, is feeling the sting of indiscretions from one of its former restaurant inspectors who is breaking the secrecy on how the gastronome's bible awards its coveted ratings.
		But Remy said Michelin inspectors, whom he contended are paid about the same as elementary school teachers for a lonely life traveling around to taste food and visit kitchens, cannot inspect restaurants regularly.
		He said that when he asked Michelin's editor to edit his diaries, he was promoted, and then asked not to publish, only to be fired when he refused.

	Michelin Man symbol just keeps rolling on \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		One of the most outstanding would have to be the jolly, multilayered figure commonly referred to as the Michelin Man, the longtime symbol of the France-based Michelin Tire Co., cleverly constructed of a stack of tires, with tire-shaped arms, legs and head.
		It didn't take long for the Michelin Man to become ubiquitous in France – where the image can be found along roadsides, on signs indicating speed limits and other useful information – and in Britain and many other countries as well.
		A vibrant and informative new book, "The Michelin Man: An Unauthorized Advertising Showcase" by Rudy LeCoadic (Schiffer Publishing), gives an interesting overview of the vast variety of Michelin Man-based merchandise, made of everything from paper to porcelain to tin to wood, and indicates their relative rarity and value.

	French chefs should stop whining about the Michelin Guide. - By Mike Steinberger - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		But the principal object of their ire was the all-powerful Michelin Guide, whose coveted stars can make or break a restaurant (the loss of a star will generally cut a restaurant's turnover by at least 25 percent).
		Michelin exercises the influence it does because restaurants matter in France and because the guide, with its army of anonymous inspectors, has proven itself over the years to be a rigorous, honest, and generally excellent judge of them.
		Initially awarded three stars in 1965, he was the first chef to use the guide's stamp of approval as a ticket to universal celebrity, becoming a globe-trotting icon with lucrative consulting and endorsement deals.

		The Michelin Man, otherwise known as Bibendum, is the ultimate in personality-driven branding.
		Inspired by a man-shaped pile of tires that the Michelin brothers originally saw at the Lyon Universal Exhibition in 1894, he started out as a fairly spooky looking character—a fat foppish aristocrat with a monocle—and evolved into an adored symbol recognized worldwide.
		Michelin tends to break most of these rules when it comes to Bibendum.
