This is a massive exaggeration of the guy's talents in the Michelin scene, for what it's worth. He's a solid chef, and his flagship Royal Hospital Road location is a nice experience for a 3-star restaurant. But he's not remotely thought of as a truly great chef in the world of fine dining. He might be like the Joe Flacco of that scene - he has a Super Bowl title but no one takes him that seriously.
