11 Miami restaurants received stars (10 received 1 star, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon 2 stars); 4 in Orlando and 0 in Tampa (absolutely shocked Bern’s did not). 29 restaurants in the state received Bib Gourmand designations, 19 in Miami:

Yeah, me too.
Of the 30 combined Michelin and Bib Gourmand Miami restaurants, 7—or nearly 25%—were Asian which runs counter to the CD narrative that no good Asian cuisine exists in Miami. I am fairly certain Michelin did not pick the restaurants they chose to simply “fill a quota”.

No. Florida paid Michelin a $150K fee to expand its coverage and rate restaurants in the state (as other cities/countries such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and California cities beyond SF Bay Area/Napa have done/paid prior). No permission needed. Individual restaurants still need to meet Michelin’s criteria without a guarantee of the number of restaurants that will receive stars.
Michelin Guide is a mixed bag for me because it comes down to money and politics, that is why several magnificent culinary cities are excluded from the guide. LA is an odd exception though since California is included.
But the fact that Tampa and Orlando will have potential Michelin restaurants over Houston, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, etc. is laughable to me.
But at least there are several other highly regarding culinary rankings, so I don't get caught up on the Michelin Guide.
Houston and Philadelphia are two of the most underrated food/restaurant cities in the nation imo.
Boston and N.O. are also good, but I think receive proper accolades for what they offer.
