the 2025 michelin guide to texas will be announced in houston on tuesday
it's michelin season babyyyyyy. no matter what you think of the guide itself, it has serious material impact on the restaurants it recognizes. i talked to three proprietors who received a star in 2024 about how it changed the game.
These Restaurants Got Coveted Michelin Stars. What Did That Really Mean?
Ahead of the reveal of the new guide, we check in with members of the inaugural class of awardees.
