Michelin is set to update its Texas guide, revealing which restaurants earned stars and other honors across the state.
Why it matters: It's a moment of recognition, honor and prestige for both the restaurants and the cities where they are located.
The latest: The awards will be announced on Oct. 28 in Houston.
Flashback: It's the second time the revered guide is visiting Texas. Last year, 15 restaurants across Texas earned a star, including six in the Houston area.
- Houston also had more than a dozen other spots featured in the guide, including many on the Bib Gourmand list, which highlights "good food at moderate prices."
How it works: A group of anonymous inspectors from across the world judge restaurants on the quality of ingredients, mastery of cooking techniques, harmony of flavors, chef's vision, consistency and value.
- The guide includes a full list of Michelin recommendations, Bib Gourmand awards, specialty awards, star winners and honorable mentions.
What they're saying: "Texas' culinary scene boasts a rich heritage, defined by its diverse flavors, unique cuisines, and remarkable talent — qualities that make it distinctly Texan," Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, said in a statement.
- "It offers something for every kind of traveler, and we look forward to unveiling our inspectors' findings in the coming months."
What's next: The awards ceremony returns to Houston, this time at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts.
