Michelin Guide Partnership To Showcase Louisiana Culinary Excellence
The Louisiana Office of Tourism announced earlier this month that Louisiana is joining six southern states to participate in the MICHELIN Guide American South to highlight Louisiana’s diverse and authentic cuisine. This will be the first regional guide in North America.
The MICHELIN Guide awards stars, the most coveted distinctions to highlight the high
excellence of restaurants. One MICHELIN Star means high quality cooking, worth a stop;
Two MICHELIN Stars means excellent cooking, worth a detour; and Three MICHELIN Stars
are for restaurants with exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey. Additionally, the Bib
Gourmand recognizes restaurants offering good quality food for good value, while a
recommended offers high quality dining.
“One of the many reasons people visit our great state is because of the food. We have some
of the freshest seafood and our Cajun and Creole cultures serve up dishes unique to
Louisiana. It’s another way to Feed Your Soul when you visit our great state,” said Louisiana
Office of Tourism Assistant Secretary Doug Bourgeois.
Travel South USA, the largest regional tourism promotion organization, and participating state tourism offices will collaborate on marketing efforts to promote authentic southern cuisine to domestic and international travelers, as well as food enthusiasts.
“As we celebrate the ‘Year of Food,’ this is just one more way we can highlight how special
our food, history, and culture are to the rest of the world. Louisiana is known as much for its
culinary talent as it is known for its musical talent,” said Bourgeois.
