Everyone is very concerned with getting star ratings from a travel guide (no mention of yelp reviews), and after Hassan earns a second star for Mirren he immediately moves to an ultra-cool place (ignoring the rule we learned from <em><a href=\"\/journal\/archives\/320\">Ratatouille<\/a><\/em> that if a head chef leaves a place it automatically loses a star), but loses his will to live in the cold city.
