I was once eating at a Michelin 2-star restaurant, and I thought that a good chicken tikka masala and aromatic basmati rice would taste better than the restaurant's food. But the Michelin star-restaurant was definitely more interesting, more refined, and a better overall dining experience. I can go from both fancy to down-home, but I can appreciate both.
