Victoria & Albert's Restaurant at the Walt Disney World Resort, Florida, US, has become the first restaurant owned and operated by a US theme park destination to hold a Michelin Star, Disney said in a recent blog post. For the unversed, a Michelin Star is awarded to restaurants offering outstanding cooking. According to the Michelin Guide, "We take into account five universal criteria: the quality of the ingredients, the harmony of flavours, the mastery of techniques, the personality of the chef as expressed through their cuisine and, just as importantly, consistency both across the entire menu and over time."
