DALLAS; July 16, 2024 - Michelin and Travel Texas today revealed an expansion of The MICHELIN Guide, with the announcement of The MICHELIN Guide Texas.

The partnership combines Travel Texas's strength in tourism with Michelin's 120-plus years of experience in gastronomy.

"The Texas culinary scene has proven to be an exhilarating one, with multicultural influences, homegrown ingredients and talent that is rich in ambition," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. "Foodies and travel enthusiasts alike will find something to enjoy, with such a broad dining scene spanning farm-to-table dishes, fusion cuisine, upscale dining and the famous Texas-style barbecue. Texas is a perfect fit for the MICHELIN Guide, based on the experiences of our anonymous inspectors."

The inaugural edition of The MICHELIN Guide Texas will include selections from Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, and will be announced later this year.

"We are very proud to be included in The MICHELIN Guide Texas and are excited about its positive impact on Dallas' vibrant culinary scene," said Craig Davis, Visit Dallas President and CEO. "The MICHELIN Guide is the gold standard in culinary tourism, and this is a wonderful opportunity to share with our visitors the Dallas story of today, highlight our diverse culinary offerings, and showcase our talented chefs. We are honored to help position Texas as a global dining destination alongside our partner cities in Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio."
