THREE STARS

The very well known and respected Michelin Guide is slowly covering the states, first with New York City and now San Fransico Bay Area. Michelin released its rankings monday morning, and out of 28 restaurants recieving stars, only one recieved the covated 3 star rating. Can you guess?? Funny enough its not even in San Fransicso, but in the small town of Yountville in the heart of Napa. The French Laundry is now Kellers second restaurant to have the honor of three stars. We recieved the news Sunday morning ( the day before Michelin released the guide) over the phone from Chef Keller. Everyone is ecstatic, and we couldnt be more proud of the guys of at the Laundry. In celebration of their achievment Chef keller declared yesterday Yountville day, sending out adds in the local newspapers declaring that they would be offering tasting menus for locals at a price of $49.50! Truffles and all!

Three Star: The French Laundry

Two Star: Aqua, Micheal Mina, Manresa, and Cyrus

Three Star: Chez Panisse, Fleur de Lys, La Folie, The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton, Rubicon, Bushi-Tei, Quince, Range, Acquerello, Masa's, Gary Danko, Boulevard, Fifth Floor, Sushi-Ran, Chez TJ, Auberge du Soleil, La Toque, Bouchon, Bistro Jeanty, Terra, Dry Creek Kitchen, Farmhouse Inn & Restaurant, and K&L Bistro.

That's so cool. I love seeing what a european based rating guide thinks of the u.s. restaurants.
