Usually, one star isn't a good look for restaurants. But in the famed Michelin Guide, the distinction means a restaurant is top tier. Here are the Houston restaurants being celebrated.
Tuesday, November 12, 2024 3:49PMSix Houston restaurants earned one star in the Michelin Guide, including BCN, CorkScrew BBQ, Le Jardinier, March, Musaafer, and Tatemó.Most of us know Houston's food scene is unmatched, and the critics seem to agree.
"The chefs I talked to last night that won the one star awards, obviously, they were happy about it and everyone was nervous, but they also feel a sense of validation for the hard work they put in their businesses and feel a sense of motivation for the process," Houston Chronicle restaurant columnist Bao Ong told ABC13.Several area spots got the "Bib Gourmand" award, which goes to restaurants that are memorable, delivering great taste and value on a budget.
One star is just the beginning. The guide awards two stars and three stars, with the latter being the highest for exceptional cooking. Inspectors are famously anonymous - and hold an incredible amount of power. These full-time employees, who are former restaurant and hospitality professionals, make the call on who gets a star.As our partners at CultureMap reported over the summer, Houston First has a three-year contract with Michelin, paying $90,000 each year, or $270,000 total to have inspectors review restaurants.
