Here's your chance to be a Michelin inspector in New York City

Being an inspector for the Michelin Guide might very well be a dream job for the avid gourmand. However, the laundry list of qualifications and requirements is long.

For example, the average Michelin inspector spends three weeks a month on the road, traveling the equivalent of about 30,580 km a year, and eating 250 restaurant meals. And it's not good enough simply to be a sophisticated and galloping gourmand.

At the top of the job qualification list is a bachelor's degree in culinary, food studies, hotel management or equivalent degree, plus at least five years of experience in the hotel or restaurant industry.
