Michelin stars have been a thing in Europe since 1900, when the first guides were published in France. And then stars came to the states in 2005, when Michelin inspectors went to New York restaurants.
But this year marked the first time the Michelin Guide came for restaurants in the American South.
On this episode of The AM/DM, Mary Cashiola and Daily Memphian food writer Ellen Chamberlain talk about the Memphis restaurants that earned Michelin recognition and what that means for them.
