BRISTOL, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 20: In this photo illustration, fast food from a branch of KFC is pictured on February 20, 2018 in Bristol, England. The number of takeaway restaurants has increased significantly in the last few years and this has raised concerns that this can lead to over-consumption in cheap, unhealthy high-fat nutrient-poor food and drink leading to higher body weight and greater risk of obesity.

Sam Edelman is a manager of a KFC in Australia and he wants his restaurant to be the newest added to the Michelin Star list.
“My store serves people who travel from 500 to 1000km away,” Mr Edelman said.
“That’s part of the criteria - the food is worth a detour, worth a journey to enjoy.”
Sam said he got the idea to push for a Michelin star after watching a Netflix documentary.
In order to get a Michelin star, the restaurant has to use quality products, have a “mastery of flavour and cooking techniques”, the chef or chefs have to have personality, it must be value for money and the food has to be consistent.
Mr Edelman is hoping he can get the attention of Michelin judges to not only his restaurant but a number of other quality eateries across Australia.
“It’s a bit of Michelin: Impossible, but let’s make it possible,” he said.
“As I say to my staff sometimes, ‘bucket, why not?’”
