Michelin Guide San Francisco: the Red Guide is coming to town

What's all clad in red and is coming to town? No, Christmas isn't coming to the City early this year, though if you asked a few chefs in town they might say that's exactly what has just happened to them.

I'm talking about the Michelin Guide, that venerable and oh-so-French institution that's been anointing its stars to generations of illustrious chefs, and which has just arrived in our fair city.

The Press Release came out today, and here's the list

THREE STARS
The French Laundry

TWO STARS
Aqua
Cyrus
Manresa (Yay!)
Michael Mina

I don't have much to say about this today. We're heading off to the Michelin release party soon. Check back here tomorrow for my take on what's on and what's off the guide!
