In order to win a star, Michelin has to produce a guide for the area. There are only three cities in the United States that have a guide (I believe: San Francisco, Chicago, and New York). So you won&#x27;t find a michelin starred restaurant in New Orleans for instance, which sort of undermines the prestige of the whole thing.<p>There are many many great restaurants in the world that are not Michelin eligible, which is a real shame.
