THE SAN
FRANCISCO PENINSULA, Calif., July 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."
