Fort Worth Selected as a Featured Culinary Destination in the MICHELIN Guide Texas
Fort Worth, Texas; 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’re proud to welcome the Michelin Guide to Texas because visitors love the many flavors of Fort Worth,” said Mitch Whitten, chief operating officer for Visit Fort Worth. “Culinary spending is the top category in our $3.3 billion visitor economy and we are excited to be part of this story elevating restaurateurs and chefs from across the state.”
