Season loses a star, LA still has no three-star restaurant, and more



[ad_1]

The new California Michelin Combined Guide was released tonight at a party in Huntington Beach – though, ironically, there were few SoCal winners outside of Los Angeles, and the vast majority of Stars' rewards were still going to the Bay Area. And the headline of the Bay Area is that Season has gone from three stars to two, largely because of the departure of the executive chef and co-owner Joshua Skenes.

This means that the San Francisco Bay Area has seven three-star restaurants, compared to eight, which is still the busiest guide in the United States – but only three of them are in the city itself ( Benu, Quince and Atelier Crenn). .

"The forward-thinking, laid-back, health-conscious Californian dining scene continues to explode and is an incredible showcase for great local produce," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of MICHELIN Guides.

Los Angeles, who remains upset by the fact that Michelin dissected them about ten years ago and left the city partly because it did not have a restaurant worthy of the three stars, did not have it. still has no restaurant three stars. Half a dozen restaurants in LA received two stars, including Providence (two stars in the original guide), and the newcomer, Verspertine. And for the honors out of Los Angeles, San Francisco and the wineries, the San Diego Addison has been awarded a star, just like the Orange County sushi spot , HaNaRe, and the only Mexican winner of SoCal, Taco Maria of Orange County.

Los Angeles favorites Three Dudes, Osteria Mozza and Rustic Canyon from former Bay Area chief, Rustic Canyon, each deserved a star.

Sacramento can claim only one star restaurant, as reported by The Bee Bag, which is The Kitchen, and Harbor House in Mendocino also got a star.

But back to the Bay Area, here is the updated list (NorCal) below (the full list of CAs is here). You will note that Campton Place was raised from a two star and that Aster still has its star, despite the fact that it closed its doors a few months ago. Congratulations to all.
