The San Francisco Peninsula is honored to host California's 2024 MICHELIN Guide Ceremony
The San Francisco Peninsula – the region's Travel &
Tourism Board - is pleased to announce that it will host California's 2024 MICHELIN
Guide Ceremony in Half Moon Bay on Monday, August 5, at The Ritz-Carlton. The annual
MICHELIN Guide selection of California restaurants will be announced and celebrated
at the event, with accomplished chefs from across the state in attendance, along
with global media.
"We are deeply honored that our organization and the
iconic Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay have been selected to host such a prestigious
culinary event," said John Hutar, President and CEO of The San Francisco Peninsula.
"There's no time like the present to explore the Peninsula's world-class culinary
scene. In one of the nation's most diverse counties and with so many cultures proudly
calling the Peninsula their home - we are a melting pot of exciting food culture.
From over 17 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants to locally loved and family-owned dining
establishments, we take great pride in celebrating fantastic food and multi-cultural
experiences."
The San Francisco Peninsula boasts an exceptional culinary
scene, offering an unparalleled experience for epicurean enthusiasts. With over
50 working farms and thriving bay harbors offering seafood fresh off the dock at
all times of the year, the region is known for its vibrant array of farm-to-table
and fusion cuisine set against a stunning backdrop of ocean, redwoods and history.
The MICHELIN Guide continuously monitors the development
of culinary destinations worldwide. This independent publication is produced by
anonymous MICHELIN inspectors who have applied the following five criteria for over
a century when assessing a restaurant: 1) quality of products; 2) harmony of flavors;
3) mastery of cooking techniques; 4) the chef's personality reflected in the cuisine;
and 5) consistency across visits (each restaurant is inspected multiple times a
year) and throughout the entire menu.
"Our famously anonymous inspectors are eager to celebrate
and share the selection of restaurants for 2024, and we look forward to toasting
with the chefs and restaurant teams to celebrate their extraordinary accomplishments,"
said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. "California
continues to showcase an impressive gastronomy scene with international influences
and outstanding cuisine."
