The Michelin guide will soon include Texas restaurants

The Michelin guide has arrived in Texas. Foodies and travelers will soon be able to use it to find the best restaurants serving award-winning barbecue, locally sourced seafood and steak, great Tex-Mex and more. Mark Thompson with Visit Dallas and Emily Williams Knight of the Texas Restaurant Association stopped by Good Day to talk about how the rating process will work.

On Monday, Michelin will hold a ceremony to publish its first-ever guide to Texas restaurants.

The prestigious guide sent anonymous reviewers to restaurants in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.

The process takes several months for inspectors to select and award Michelin stars. A restaurant can receive one star, two or three stars.

Michelin is the same company that makes tires.

In the early 20th century, the company published a restaurant guide in France to encourage travel so they could sell tires.

What does a Michelin star mean?

The Michelin guide is coming to 5 cities in Texas

For the first time, Michelin, the most recognized restaurant rating system in the world, will add Texas eateries to its guide. The focus will not be only on expensive restaurants that few people can afford.

Restaurants can receive one, two or three stars, with three being the highest.

Here’s what they think, according to Michelin.

  • One MICHELIN star is awarded to restaurants that use top quality ingredients, where dishes with distinct flavors are prepared to a consistently high standard.
  • Two MICHELIN stars are awarded when the chef’s personality and talent are evident in their expertly developed dishes; their food is refined and inspired.
  • Three MICHELIN stars are our highest award, given for the superlative cooking of chefs at the top of their trade; their cooking has been elevated to an art form and some of their dishes are destined to become classics.
