France's 2021 Michelin Guide released despite Covid-19 restaurant shutdown

Description

France is known around the world for its gastronomy and love of food. In this week's show, we take a closer look at what's been called the food lover's bible: the Michelin Guide.

But for the famous red guide, it was important to keep up the tradition, especially this year.
