Michelin's First Regional Guide Spotlights South Carolina Restaurants

-

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCND) — Charleston boasts an outstanding food scene, and currently, some of its renowned eateries along with various locations throughout the state have the opportunity to be awarded Michelin stars.

The MICHELIN Guide is adopting a regional strategy and delving into genuine recipes from the American South, as stated by the French firm on Wednesday.

The updated guide encompasses Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Tennessee, along with the previously existing Atlanta guide.

We are thrilled to start this new chapter with the MICHELIN Guide because this marks the first time since its launch in North America back in 2005 that we're introducing a region-specific edition," stated Gwendal Poullennec, who serves as the International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. "Southern U.S. cooking stands out due to its blend of varied cultural impacts, resulting in distinctive dishes crafted by highly skilled and passionate chefs.

Currently, anonymous inspectors are exploring the area to uncover the finest cuisine the Southern region has to offer. Authorities mentioned that all chosen eateries will be disclosed at the upcoming annual MICHELIN Guide event for this region.

The inspectors will adhere to the traditional evaluation method employed by Michelin, encompassing these five standards: 1) superior product quality, 2) balanced taste profiles, 3) proficient culinary skills, 4) the distinctive style and character of the chef evident through their dishes, and 5) uniformity across all visits and items served (restaurants receive several inspections annually under this system).

This initiative is done in collaboration with Travel South.

Travel South USA is delighted to back the launch of the MICHELIN Guide in the Southern part of America. This area has always merited international acclaim for its exceptional farm-to-table dishes, top-notch sea fare, and vibrant food scene—a testament to the ingenuity and skill of many of the globe's finest chefs," stated Liz Bittner, who serves as both the president and CEO of Travel South USA. "It gives us immense pride to become the nation's first locale to present our gastronomic strengths across major urban centers and quaint hamlets on an international platform. We extend our deepest gratitude to all participating state tourism bureaus and locales for contributing to this pioneering venture.

Initially, the guide was extended to incorporate North America starting with New York back in 2005. Over the past few years, the growth has further encompassed various urban centers across both Canada and Mexico.

Didn't you catch wind of it? For only $105,000, you can purchase citizenship to a tropical island paradise these days. The island country of Nauru located in the Pacific is offering passports to foreign nationals for $105,000 (£81,000) as part of an effort to generate funding for its climate emergency reserve. Soaring sea levels are swiftly eroding Nauru’s coastlines. In reaction, the nation’s leadership is considering a large-scale move inland; however, they are facing difficulties in securing funding for this initiative. Approximately ninety percent of the island's inhabitants will likely have to relocate to elevated areas due to sea levels surrounding Nauru increasing at a rate one point five times quicker than the worldwide average. Many nations provide citizenship in return for significant financial investments or property purchases. However, certain options may stand out specifically to wealthy Britons looking for opportunities. In fact, several stunning t...

Australian Grand Prix Fences Go Black for Clever Reason

The 2025 Australian Grand Prix introduces several modifications to the circuit, primarily focusing on Turn 6 where Mercedes' George Russell had a crash in the previous year. However, the track authorities have implemented an additional alteration. The fencing along the Melbourne street race course has been painted black, particularly in the region of the starting grid. This minor alteration significantly enhances visibility for both spectators with tickets and photographers, despite its subtle nature. The cause stems from how light reflects off the metal. Black paint helps with this by absorbing the light, thus making it simpler to maintain visibility. Formula One tracks have consistently needed to address the visibility and safety of spectators holding tickets. Essential safety features include barrier walls and catch fencing, which protect not only the audience but also racers themselves. Take, for instance, Zhou Guanyu’s accident at Silverstone in 2023; without the p...
