Assisted by a crack team, Duchemin uses the most varied disguises (to avoid being granted any favoured treatment) as he trawls through every restaurant and secretly grants (or withdraws) the coveted stars ... .. Duchemin's sworn enemy is Jacques Tricatel, king of motorway restaurants. Not only does he want to steal the originals for the '76 guide from Duchemin, Tricatel is also set on buying out several very good restaurants and force them to serve his horrible food ...
