Description

Last week, The Michelin Guide revealed the second annual Texas guide, honoring 51 Austin restaurants with stars, Bib Gourmands, and recommendations. For some, it’s the ultimate win, but do Michelin stars really mean anything here in Austin? Host Nikki DaVaughn sits down with Texas Monthly restaurant critic Paula Forbes and Alicynn Fink, a partner of the Michelin-awarded Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group, to break down the results, the surprises and what this year's awards will mean for Austin's dining scene.
