Michelin Resumes Its Ratings of U.S. Restaurants
The New York Times
New guides for Washington D.C., New York and Chicago will be rolled out beginning next week.
After a pause last year because of the pandemic, the Michelin Guides for restaurants in several cities in the United States are up and running again. The venerable French company announced Thursday that starting next week, it would begin revealing the stars and other ratings for restaurants in Washington D.C., Chicago and New York. The 2021 restaurant guides will be rolled out one week at a time and be entirely virtual; no red books are being printed, nor are they likely to be in the future. A guide to California will be announced at a later date. The rating process for these guides was completed by the end of 2020. Although the ratings for restaurants in the United States are usually released in the fall, Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the guides, said the company decided to wait until now to allow more time for restaurants to reopen and Michelin inspectors more time to visit them.More Related News
