[neil-gaiman]

The Michelin stars for fancy restaurants are handed out by Michelin reviewers. In order that the restaurant does not know that they have a Michelin reviewer dining with them that night the traditional French way of covering this up is for the Michelin reviewers to become anonymous.

Three Michelin reviewers (above) unmasked. Note the cigars in the mouths of the heads. These were removable while dining, but the cigars allowed the reviewers to blend in in fine dining establishments all over France, in the days when people smoked in restaurants.

Six top reviewers setting out to dine anonymously.

Differences of opinion between Michelin reviewers were always settled the old fashioned way.
