Michelin Impossible
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.

When you think of KFC you don’t think “high end” one KFC manager wants to change your mind…
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?’”
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
