Michelin Guide rating system?

Hi, I've recently joined the culinary industry (1 year of experience), and I've been studying and looking around many different types cuisine, but what it interested me the most was the Michelin Guide ratings. From reading books and interviews that are made by 2-3 star chefs such as Thomas Keller, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Michel Bras and more, I was intrigued by their plating and philosophy of their cuisine. Many of instructors from my culinary school told me that the one of ultimate goal of a chef is to be rated by Michelin Guide.

So my question is this: Is Michelin Guide the best rating system for restaurants? Is it truly every Chef's ultimate goal? What truly distinguishes between Michelin Star Chef and Chef with no Michelin Star? What are some factors that a Chef doesn't quality to be rated by Michelin Guide?

Thanks for reading my questions.

    For more than a century, the Michelin guide has offered a ratings system for some of the finest restaurants in the world. The first Michelin guide was published in France in 1900 "to offer practical information to enjoy driving", according to the company. Today, the Michelin guide covers 23 countries with 27 titles. When awarding its famous star rating system, the rating represents the food only, and does not take into consideration interior decor, service quality or table settings. What Michelin does take into consideration, however, is the quality of the products and the mastery of flavor and cooking. Michelin also reviews the "personality" of the cuisine, the value for the money and the consistency between visits.

    According to Michelin, its star rating system represents the following:

    One star: A very good restaurant in its category.

    Two stars: Excellent cooking and worth a detour. Offers specialties and wines of first-class quality.

    Three stars: Exceptional cuisine and worth the journey where diners eat extremely well, often superbly. The wine list features generally outstanding vintages and the surroundings and service are part of this unique experience, which is priced accordingly.

    The more stars awarded, the higher the rating. by Carrie Coolidge
