Every year every 2 star chef prays to the Michelin Gods and hopes they will be able to join this elite group of restaurateurs. They also pray they will not be demoted from 3 to 2.
This year only one was promoted to the ranks of the best on earth. The number in parenthesis represents the department (county) that the restaurant is located in. i.e. the last entry is Georges Blanc in the town of Vonnas which is in the department of l’Ain which starts with the letter A or 1st letter in the alphabet. If you are driving through France you can also see the department number as the last 2 digits on each license plate.
