There are no Michelin stars in Missouri. That might be a good thing

The Michelin Guide is a gold standard in the culinary world, but you won't find a single Michelin-starred restaurant in St. Louis or even Missouri. As STLPR Morning Newscaster Abby Llorico discovered through recent interviews with St. Louis restaurateurs, it turns out that it's not simple (or cheap) to get a Michelin scout in your city. Along with Llorico, St. Louis Magazine food writer Cheryl Baehr joins the discussion of Michelin rankings and more, including her reflections on the major events in St. Louis' food scene in 2024.
