These 10 'value' restaurants in California were just added to the Michelin Guide

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:32:34 GMT

(NEXSTAR) – The Michelin Guide is best known for honoring fancy restaurants with carefully plated dishes, haute cuisine and amuse bouches. But if all that sounds like it isn't your style (or isn't in your budget), the prestigious food guide also has some recommendations for taquerias and sandwich spots. Michelin, a French tire company, originally created its famous guidebook as a way to help drivers find good spots to eat along road trips. It awards stars – one, two or three of them – to restaurants that are best in class. But Michelin also has a lesser-known award called the Bib Gourmand, which goes to restaurants Michelin inspectors believe are the "best value for money." What is considered a good "value" depends on an area's cost of living, but Michelin says you should typically expect to find a three-course meal for under $50 at one of its Bib Gourmand picks. 6 California spots named ‘best new restaurants’ by Bon Appétit This month, 10 more California restaurants with a ...

Speas big relief in debut, Heim homers as Rangers win 6th in a row, 5-1 over slumping Rays

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Alex Speas struck out his first three batters in his big league debut for the Texas Rangers, getting two outs with his first one when All-Star catcher Jonah Heim threw out a runner trying to steal second base. That relief from Speas, a second-round draft pick in 2016, came before Heim’s big three-run homer in the eighth inning as the AL West leaders stretched their winning streak to six games with a 5-1 victory over the slumping Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
