The Michelin Guides, issued by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900, were originally created to encourage tire sales by recommending dining establishments to motorists. Over the years, the guide's star rating system has become highly esteemed.[1]

Restaurants are assessed by covert Michelin inspectors who possess at least a decade of experience, judging based on five key factors: ingredient quality, command of flavors and culinary techniques, the chef’s unique influence on the dining experience, value relative to price, and consistency over multiple visits.[1]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Following a collective agreement, eateries are awarded between one and three stars: one star signifies "high-quality cooking, worth stopping for," two stars mean "excellent cuisine, worth making a detour," and three stars represent "exceptional cooking, worth a special trip." These ratings are subject to ongoing review and can be downgraded if standards slip.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name[1]

Debuting on June 14, 2023, the Colorado Michelin Guide became the sixth U.S. region included. Developed in collaboration with the Colorado Tourism Office, it covers Aspen, Snowmass Village, Boulder, Denver, Vail, and Beaver Creek Resort.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name Cities participating contributed fees ranging from $70,000 to $100,000 plus additional state funding; other municipalities such as Aurora and Colorado Springs opted out.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad nameCite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name In its inaugural 2023 edition, five restaurants earned one-star distinctions.[2][3][4]
