Tokyo > (New York + Paris)
3 months after publication, NYT and Newsweek pick up on the multitude of Le Guide Michelin stars being doled out in Tokyo.

When Two Worlds Collide!
Whoa. This really is one of the oddest, wackiest photo shoots I'd ever seen done at the 'Plex. Very Zoolander.
It's all about that work-fashion balance.
