Welcome to the behind-the-scenes episode of the MICHELIN Guide Florida Ceremony: Miami, Orlando & Tampa.

If this is your first time tuning in, here's the scoop. I've been writing about the MICHELIN Guide's Florida potential and eventual guide since 2014—initially on the blog and now also on the podcast. In this episode, I'll be your guide through the latest ceremony. I'll pull back the curtain, revealing how things unfolded, and offer you a sneak peek of the actual event (since I always receive questions about it). I'll also share my personal take on the results and begin a first look ahead as to what 2025 could hold.

In this episode, I analyze the MICHELIN Guide Florida and its upcoming April 18th awards ceremony in Tampa.

• Is South Florida feeling jaded over the Guide?
• When will negotiations resume for the Florida contract?
• What do the one, two, and three-star ratings mean?
• Will any restaurant lose its star? If so, which one (s)?
• Will the MICHELIN Guide rank up any restaurant? If so, which one (s)?
• Will Miami see any three-starred restaurant (s) this year?
• Who are the new restaurant additions to the guide?
• Is 2024 a shakeup year for the MICHELIN Guide?
• What are some essential guidelines to know about MICHELIN?

Can't get enough MICHELIN Guide coverage? Episodes 3, 13, 26, and 29 of this podcast will give you additional Guide information and offer more detailed, deep, geeky dives on this topic. I also recently interviewed Visit Florida's Dana Young on the Michelin Guide Florida's current impact and future. That's episode 41.

Listen in as we candidly review the last 15 Miami restaurants we visited. PART 2 of this supersized episode tackles an unlucky celebrity chef's arrival, a couple of Miami historical locations renovated by flashy restaurant groups, another Argentinian concept that didn't deliver on steak, a classy omakase experience with a starry future, a tiny but mighty local fine dining concept, and an elegant supper club where privacy trumps all.
