This article was updated after the discovery that Michelin had mistakenly included an incorrect restaurant in its honor roll.
After years of waiting, the Michelin Guide—considered by most professional chefs to be the world’s ultimate benchmark of restaurant quality—has arrived in Texas. The company announced the state’s first-ever selections during a banquet at the POST 713 Music Hall in downtown Houston on Monday evening.
Michelin will produce Texas guides for at least three years, in financial partnerships with state and local tourism boards. You can read more about the backstory and judging criteria here. Tomorrow, we’ll publish a column analyzing the results and looking at how Michelin’s view of Texas measures up to our expectations. North Texas received a single star. Fifteen restaurants statewide now have a single Michelin star; none received two or three, the most prestigious Michelin awards.
But right now you want to know who’s in the Guide.
