Since Michelin designations must be maintained annually, the ceremony will show both new San Antonio entries to the guide and whether any local restaurants have been either demoted or removed entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Held at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts, the event will reveal Michelin\u2019s second class of Texas restaurants. In 2024, the Guide made its <a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonio.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/michelin-guide-texas-picks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas debut<\/a> with over 100 entries, including 15 restaurants that earned a highly coveted Michelin star. <\/p>\n<p>Michelin employs anonymous inspectors to evaluate restaurants on five criteria: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. Based on that, they may recognize restaurants with one of four designations:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li><strong>Michelin stars<\/strong>, rated at one, two, or three for restaurants that offer exceptional experiences<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bib Gourmand<\/strong>, described as \u201crestaurants that offer great quality food at good prices\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green stars<\/strong> for \u201crestaurants that are leaders in sustainable gastronomy<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommended<\/strong> for good restaurants that don\u2019t quite meet the level of either a star or Bib Gourmand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The guide also gives out professional awards, such as Steven McDonald of Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, who received the sommelier award in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Texas restaurants will be looking to build on the momentum created with last year\u2019s guide. Since one star was the highest rating any restaurant received in 2024, perhaps Michelin will elevate at least one restaurant to two star status.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, four Texas barbecue joints received a star in 2024. The ceremony will reveal both whether all four have kept those designations and whether any of those that received Recommended or Bib Gourmand have been elevated to star status. <\/p>\n<p>In San Antonio, 13 restaurants made the guide \u2014 a single one-star restaurants; five Bib Gourmand; and seven Recommended. Expect speculation about which restaurants are joining the club to reach a fever pitch between now and October 28. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year marked a milestone for the Texas restaurant industry, and we\u2019re excited to continue celebrating the state\u2019s exceptional culinary talent at this year\u2019s ceremony,\u201d said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guide, in a statement. \u201cTexas\u2019 culinary scene boasts a rich heritage, defined by its diverse flavors, unique cuisines, and remarkable talent \u2014 qualities that make it distinctly Texan. It offers something for every kind of traveler, and we look forward to unveiling our Inspectors\u2019 findings in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The next class of Texas restaurants included in the Michelin Guide will be announced at an invite-only ceremony&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":141128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5133],"tags":[5229,5800,63968,83453,12212,988,7202,7203,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-141127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-awards","10":"tag-awards-ceremony","11":"tag-michelin-guide","12":"tag-news-you-can-eat","13":"tag-restaurants","14":"tag-san-antonio","15":"tag-sanantonio","16":"tag-texas","17":"tag-tx","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-united-states-of-america","20":"tag-unitedstates","21":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","22":"tag-us","23":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115018877110351881","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/141128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
