The first-ever Michelin Guide for Texas came out this week, and it brings up a lot of questions. ⁠
⁠
Why does the Michelin Guide go to certain cities? What do they mean by “culinary potential”? How are they funding their expansion? ⁠
⁠
And most importantly, what does it say about what kinds of cuisine is considered valuable? ⁠
⁠
We dug into the specifics about the funding for this post, but if you want to hear more about some of these other questions, check out our podcast episode “Zero Stars: Why is a Tire Company Rating Food?”⁠
⁠
What do you think about the Michelin expansion efforts? Let us know in the comments 👇🏻⁠

Congratulations on the release of your beautiful new book

Chef Tu’s Portland stop on his book tour was at last night. Among many other topics and questions, Chef Tu spoke about how he sees his food and his work fitting into the larger picture of Vietnamese cuisine, especially in response to comments that he might be “elevating” Vietnamese food - sharing a sentiment inspired by his mother:

“Good fabric, whether it’s people or things, are one universal fabric. And when you meet good people, you are adding to that fabric. So I like to say that in Vietnamese cuisine, I’m not elevating sh*t. I’m just adding to the good fabric.”

Even though Chef Tu was only in PDX for one night, he did what he does: brought community together. It was great to hear Chef Tu speak surrounded by many of the people that add to Portland’s good fabric.
