Twenty-three Chicago restaurants are among the list of Michelin-starred eateries for 2022, it was announced Tuesday.
The Michelin stars are a coveted honor—the highest in the culinary industry—for restaurants around the world in the 36 countries currently part of the Michelin Guide roster. Michelin stars, which are based on a restaurant’s cuisine, must be “earned” each year as they can also be rescinded and restaurants removed from related city guides. “Inspectors,” as Michelin Guide refers to its anonymous reviewers, visit restaurants and rate each one based on quality of products, mastery of flavor/cooking techniques, personality of the chef, value for money, and consistency.
