However, the famous chef has decided to fight back by taking legal action against Michelin Guide, claiming the demotion was due to a mix-up over cheese. "We understand the disappointment of Mr Veyrat, whose talent no-one disputes... we will study his requests carefully and respond," the Michelin Guide said in a statement. Earlier this year, Veyrat asked that La Maison des Bois, which is located in the French Alps, be removed from the Michelin Guide entirely due to the reviewer's "incompetence." CNN has contacted Veyrat's legal team and Michelin Guide for further comment.
