Lol SF has never asked or paid Michelin for anything and SF was a recognized and established restaurant destination long before Michelin.
The rest of the state was added to the SF guide and clearly paying Michelin to review restaurants hasnt garnered any special favor because LA, the nation's 2nd biggest has ZERO Three-Star restaurants.
Implying that localities are bribing Michelin doesnt make sense because clearly it's not paying off lol.
learned that most cities would be able to get Michelin ratings if your city/tourism board is willing to fork up hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars for them to come

Yes, by subsidizing Michelin’s expansion you can get them to visit your city, state or country. No guarantee, however, a particular restaurant or number of restaurants will receive a star or Bib Gourmand designation—still have to earn it. In 2022, as a prime example, Tampa was shut out (that changed in the just released 2023)

The only cities in America that Michelin comes to because of the dining scene without being paid are NYC, DC, Chicago, and San Francisco I believe. They join cities around the world that also have Michelin because of their dining scene like Paris, London, and Tokyo etc.

That’s very true and can also be seen by the amount of Michelin stars in Miami and LA.
"While travelers have always flocked to this oceanfront paradise for its sunny weather and world-class art, Greater Miami and Miami Beach have recently seen a rush of visitors and new residents alike—and the city’s culinary scene is keeping up. Miami is a cultural melting pot, where the Latin American and Caribbean populations have always played a starring role in shaping the local dining scene. Pair that existing culture with the recent influx of top-tier culinary talent from around the world, and you’ve got a dynamic dining destination well worth a visit."
"Editor-in-chief Dawn Davis writes that as editors traveled around the country looking for bold new places to eat, they admitted the one place they kept wanting to return to was Miami."
Looks like the City of Miami still has 8 restaurants with stars in city limits. The city of Surfside, Florida has one. The city of Miami Beach has 3 restaurants with stars. Did a restaurant within the City of Miami lose stars? The City of Miami already had 8 restaurants with stars last year.

No City of Miami restaurant lost a star. The greater Miami area actually increased its Michelin star restaurant total by 1 in 2023 from 11 to 12.....the one 2 star restaurant (L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon) and ten 1 star restaurants from 2022 all retained their stars. A new 1 star restaurant (Tambourine Room) was added for 2023.
Still shocked Fiola (South Miami outpost of a Michelin restaurant in DC, by you) got snubbed again.
