Originally, a measure of quality. The first star ratings were in the 1920s in
Michelin Guides, aimed at drivers since Michelin is a tire company, and
rated restaurants:

1: Worth visiting if you are in the area
2: Worth a detour
3: Worth a special trip

As of about 5 years ago when I last saw numbers, there were 81 Michelin
3-star restaurants worldwide.
