Guiding Stars


While we may be a little late on the ball here, we thought the publication last week of the 2008 San Francisco Michelin Guide deserved a mention. the French Laundry was the only restaurant to achieve a three-star rating, but quite a few others, including some new establishments, followed with one or two stars. Check out the full list here.

As it has only been out for a few days, we have not heard one way or another whether the latest guide is rife with inaccuracies, but after last year’s seminal and rather poorly received effort, we’re sure the little book will be gone over with many fine-toothed combs in the coming weeks. Those inspectors had better be doing three-star work themselves if they want to get back in the good graces of this city’s tough crowd of restaurateurs and their devoted clientele.
