Having Michelin-starred restaurants will add even more credibility to an already respected and diverse culinary scene, according to TRA Chief Public Affairs Officer Kelsey Erickson Streufert.
– The Texas Restaurant Association said the state’s inclusion in the Michelin Guide is exciting and overdue.
“We know that the inspectors are already out. They are completely anonymous. They are completely independent. So none of us have any sort of influence or insight into where they are or what they’re seeing. But it’s incredibly exciting,” she said. According to the TRA, the food service industry is the state’s largest private-sector employer, with more than 1.4 million Texans and over $106 billion in annual sales. Inclusion in the guide could grow those numbers even more.In the past, if you were a Texan and your dream was to get a Michelin star or work in a Michelin star restaurant, you had to leave. You had to leave for Chicago. For New York? For California. Well, not anymore.
“Maybe the most important factor about all of this is truly just the economic update it brings to every restaurant across. The data is consistent that people look at the Michelin Guide when they decide where they’re going to visit where they’re going to travel,” Streufert said. “And so, now people will choose Texas, and not only will they dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but when they’re here, they’re going to go to that local taco truck down the street.
