Michelin stars are coming to Dallas. The Michelin Guide will announce its first starred ratings for Dallas restaurants by the end of this year, though we don’t exactly know when. Judges are visiting restaurants right now.
Now it’s time for the fun part. Let’s predict who will get stars!
D is hosting a reader Michelin prediction pool. Similar to the way you might predict Oscar winners or fill out a March Madness bracket, we’re asking readers to submit their best guesses for which Dallas restaurants will earn stars, and how many. The winner gets a prize.
How does the Michelin prediction game work?
Fill out this form, which will ask for your contact info (in case you win!) and your predictions. The reader who is closest to Michelin’s final list will claim the prize. The form includes a tiebreaker.
The form will stop accepting submissions at 5 p.m. Dallas time on September 30.
What’s the prize?
It’s a $50 gift card to Burger House. We figure if you know so much about Michelin, you should get your nose out of your caviar dish and eat like the rest of us, at one of the best old-school burger joints in Dallas.
How should I fill out my ballot?
We answered a lot of the most important Michelin-related questions in our original news article about their arrival in Texas. You can also refer to Michelin’s own stated criteria, and it may help to look over Michelin lists in cities like Chicago, Orlando, Atlanta, New York, and Washington, D.C. Keep in mind that although the Guide is not restricted to Dallas city limits, a representative for Michelin told me that “Collin County falls outside of the selection scope.”
Michelin awards on a scale of one to three stars, all recognizing excellence in varying degrees. We are not asking you to predict the “green star” for sustainability or the Bib Gourmand, which honors budget-friendly eats.
Wait, you’re a food critic, right? You’ve probably been to some Michelin restaurants. What’s your prediction?
Not telling!
Fine, jerk. I’m ready to play!
Here’s the form. Good luck!
