The Michelin Guides have been issued by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900. Originally designed to promote driving and tire sales, the guide gradually transformed into a respected system for evaluating restaurants. Earning Michelin stars is now considered a significant honor in the culinary industry.
Restaurants are assessed by anonymous Michelin inspectors who possess a minimum of ten years' experience. Their evaluation focuses on five key aspects: "quality of ingredients," "expertise in flavor and cooking methods," "chef’s individuality," "value for price," and "consistency over multiple visits." Inspectors create their selections drawing from media coverage, critics’ reviews, and customer popularity. Establishments may be awarded one to three stars: one star denotes "high-quality cuisine worth stopping for," two stars signify "excellent cooking worth making a detour," and three stars represent "exceptional fare justifying a special journey." These ratings are regularly reviewed and can be revoked if standards decline.
The Michelin Guide for Texas was unveiled in July 2024, with its official release scheduled for November 11, 2024. This edition evaluates chosen Texas restaurants according to Michelin's established standards.
Funding for this guide comes through collaboration among the visitor bureaus of Texas’s five largest metropolitan areas—Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio—alongside Travel Texas, a state agency within the Governor's Economic Development & Tourism Office. Over a three-year span, $2.7 million has been dedicated to Michelin for conducting restaurant assessments throughout Texas, with costs equally shared between Travel Texas (50%) and the participating city visitor bureaus (50%).
As of now, 15 restaurants in Texas have received Michelin stars, all awarded a single star; no establishments have yet attained two or three stars.
