The winners in the Michelin guide gain recognition as having "exceptional cuisine, worthy of a special journey." A two Michelin Star classification denotes "excellent cuisine worth a detour." One Michelin Star says, "very-good cuisine in its category." Sally focused on winning her third Michelin Star diligently, working on the only qualification – "Perfection." 

In its fifth year of operation, the Restaurant has become the number one destination for vacationers coming to Florida and Foodies from all over the world. Food critics have poured in from all over just for the opportunity to experience the delights and write about the savory treats served in Sally's signature dish. One savory treat included a specially formulated dessert created by Sally. The desert has become so popular that many customers have requested extra take-home orders. A substantial number of patrons have asked if the dessert would ever be sold separately in markets.

Annual revenue from the restaurant is approaching over twenty million dollars. The business has amassed direct ownership of fifty properties located around the country in high-density cities. Sales from the Table app have steadily grown to over six million dollars in annual sales through subscriptions and advertising revenue.
