Michelin Guide expands to Texas, including San Antonio

San Antonio restaurants soon could boast Michelin stars attached to their names. French tire company Michelin and Travel Texas will release the first-ever Michelin Guide Texas later this year, with scoring already underway in San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, according to details shared on the guide's website. Michelin Guide's inspectors are "making dining reservations secretively and paying for all their meals to ensure they are treated the same as any customer," the announcement said. “The Texas culinary scene has proven to be an exhilarating one, with multicultural influences, homegrown ingredients, and talent that is rich in ambition,” Gwendal Poullennec, Michelin Guide's international director, said in the online statement.
