I am a line cook at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Our boss has been on Iron Chef, received 2 James Beard Nominations, and we are currently listed as one of the 40 best restaurants in the country.

One star indicates a "very good cuisine in its category", a two-star ranking represents "excellent cuisine, worth a detour," and three stars are awarded to restaurants offering "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey". A three-star Michelin ranking is rare. As of late 2009, there were 26 three-star restaurants in France, and only 81 in the world.

Are you in Europe? Or do they operate globally? Basically, aren't you in the United States? If so, whereabouts?

Nope, we're in the US. Currently only San Francisco, Chicago, and New York have Michelin guides published, so there are plenty of other restaurants around the country that are equally impressive but don't get the same recognition for some reason. Still, it's definitely an accomplishment for our restaurant to be counted among the top 40 restaurants in the nation, as well as being awarded a place in the guide. My restaurant appears in the Chicago edition.

I used to be a waiter at The Whitehouse in Anaheim Ca. Its certainly a very prestigious honor to be so highly regarded in the Michelin. The Zagat gets alot of hype, but it can't hold a candle to The Michelin. Man I loved Chi-town last time I was there, its such a historical place and the food is out of this world.

I might need to look into this line of work. How does one break into this kind of work? What kind of licenses/experience needed? etc...

Also, if I do ever see a Devo-hat wearing truck driver, I'll know it's you...

yes you need a Class A CDL....which basically is a series of written test and a driving test through the DMV....you basically have two choices...pay to go to a truck driving school which is around $1500....or sign on with a larger company ie England, Werner, Scnieder who will pay for your training and license in trade for a contract of work

personally i signed on with England and worked for them for a little over a year basically i went to their school in Salt lake after i failed miserably at bike frame construction (just could not get the hang of welding)....basically it went like this....3 weeks instruction in Salt Lake, three months over the road training....and then i land a spot on their dedicated fleet out of Reno for Wal-Mart....after my year was up i started dropping resumes with the local beer people and landed this job for Ross....like i said it has its ups and downs but pays well with great benefits....and again i basically drive for 6-7 hours and listen to music....still i'm on a waiting list for a couple of the beer distributors here in reno

Sounds like something I could be comfortable doing. I would just need to put in the work and get started. I'll definitely be mulling it over. Thanks for the information.
