The Michelin Guide Is Returning to Texas
The Michelin Guide is coming back to Texas. On October 28, it will announce its 2025 selections during a ceremony at the Wortham Center for the Performing Arts in Houston. The prestigious restaurant ratings will again cover five cities: Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston.
It's only the second year that Michelin has rated Texas restaurants, but last year's debut made a statement. Texas landed 15 one star restaurants, 44 Bib Gourmands (good food at a good price), 56 restaurants were recommended destinations, and two received Green Stars — recognition of a restaurant's sustainable practices.
Unsurprisingly, barbecue got a heap of attention. Four Texas restaurants serving the cuisine received stars, the first time Michelin has awarded stars to barbecue in North or South America. Previous winners were Singapore's Australian-style barbecue restaurant Burnt Ends and Japanese wagyu barbecue restaurant Oretachi No Nikuya in Taiwan. The four Texas barbecue spots to join the ranks were Austin's Interstellar BBQ, La Barbecue, LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue, along with CorkScrew BBQ in Spring.
This year's ceremony will be watched closely, not just to see which restaurants retain their stars or get awarded their firsts, but to see if a restaurant can get two or even three stars awarded.
