Same. No Nina Compton, no Kingsway. Lufu??? Wtf.

Based on some of those selections, Rosedale/Susan Spicier deserves at least a BG.

Edit: I know Michelin is pay to play to a degree…but those BG selections scream paid acknowledgement IMO.

The restaurant was founded by Emeril Sr., chef is his son, Jr.
Jr. did receive recognition in a different category

I think they opened in time to be rated. They were mentioned as a “recommendation” at the bottom of the guide along with many other notable restaurants that we all thought could get a star.

Yeah but places that have been open that short of a time have a hard time getting in these guides, unless it is a chef that has already had stars and is well known

Crazy, no one was even talking about Zasu. It is really great though. Dakar not getting one is the biggest surprise.

The BG list is absolute steaming trash.

Didn’t notice the recommendation part. I see that Emeril’s other place, 34 Restaurant and Bar, got a rec. what is the consensus on that place?
