A classical Greek tragedy about hard work, big egos, and French culture.
His fanatical attention to detail, frenetic work ethic, and discerning palate, propelled him to the top of his profession, and earned him a knowledgeable and loyal, but unforgiving and demanding clientele.
In the late 1990s, a new form of Asian-inspired "fusion cuisine" swept France, catering to an international corporate class and pleasing trend-driven "foodies" (a neologism of the movement), which Loiseau resisted.
Loiseau was downgraded from 19/20 to 17/20 in the Gault et Millau guide and received a strong negative media review from the gastronomic critic François Simon in the newspaper Le Figaro, but he still had his three stars in the Michelin Guide. Criticism continued to pour in and the media speculated about a possible future loss of a Michelin star.
But on February 24, 2003, the chef finished his lunchtime service, rolled up his apron and drove home. Telling his ten-year old son β one of three children β to go and play outside, he went upstairs, locked the bedroom door and shot himself in the head with a hunting rifle, a present from his wife.
After his death, three-star chef Jacques Lameloise said Loiseau had once confided, "If I lose a star, I'll kill myself".
Derek Brown, Michelin director at the time, said: "The idea of telling him about the concerns we had about some of his cooking was in order to give him an opportunity to consider whether he wanted to do something about it, which he did, as it turned out."
All in all, a messy story sparking many debates about whether reviewers should really be brutally honest, and if they are unfairly harsh. Perhaps it inspired Ratatouille (2007)?

Right, there's nothing productive to be had in terms of discussion here, and I don't think you guys even care at this point either to try.
Call it whatever stupid buzzword you want - Woke, DEI, PC, SJW, or whatever dumb term people come up with next week. I don't care. The term means, always has meant, and always WILL mean "Not being an butthole to someone because they're different to you."
Don't pretend that the old stories were fine just having black or gay people - Because buttholes complained about that then, just like you are complaining about it now. The reality is, people who are not the same skin colour, sexual orientation, gender, lifestyle, size, physical ability, etc etc, than you, Exist. They always have, and always will.
Culture including people with different characteristics to you IS NOT A SLIGHT. They are not doing it to offend you, or to "gaslamp you" or whatever nonsense the Anti Woke Brigade has come up with this week. These characters are being created so that the real human beings who have those differences, have someone to look at and go "Hey this guy's like me!" That's it. That's the whole thing. It's just about making everybody feel welcome.
If you want to complain about this, I encourage you to send us a modmail. But this thread is locked, and you know darn well why.

Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.
Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity
Alongside non-existent wage growth
Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.

Ari clearly has the ick.
I can't get over Ari's hand She's posing like this is an annoying fan that wants a quick selfie, not the guy she fricked and destroyed two marriages to have.

Mizrahi Jews hate being labeled as 'Arab,' a term that reflects the cultural homogenization imposed by Zionist ideology. This erasure of their diverse identities and Jewish-Muslim coexistence was replaced by a manufacture unity rooted only in Arab rejection and Islamophobia. https://t.co/1KuwDjtpUg
