Texas will be the 11th North American destination to join its list of culinary locations. The Michelin Guide announced it is expanding through a partnership with Travel Texas and the destination marketing organizations for Houston, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio. 

Michelin is working with the Houston First Corporation to hold the much-anticipated event that will announce the top restaurants on Nov. 11, 2024.

Since its start in 1900 as a means to promote the Michelin Tire brand, the Michelin Guide’s international reputation has grown for its restaurant and, most recently, hotel ratings. Michelin published its first North American Guide in 2005 for New York City. Guides have since been added in Washington, D.C.; Chicago; California; Miami/Orlando/Tampa, Florida; Colorado; Atlanta, Toronto; Vancouver; and Mexico. The Province of Quebec will follow.

As of 2024, there are 145 three-star restaurants in the world, with only 13 in the U.S.
