Bay Area Michelin

From the SF Chronicle:

Nerves and nail-biting gave way to jubilation, disappointment and even shock Monday as the Bay Area’s best chefs learned exactly what the vaunted inspectors of France’s Michelin Guide think of their restaurants.

Only 28 restaurants earned stars in Michelin’s first-ever ranking of the Bay Area food scene, compared with 39 in New York, where the French guide released its first American edition last year. Altogether, Michelin lists 356 restaurants from San Jose to Healdsburg, compared with more than 500 in New York.
