The MICHELIN Guide Reveals Chicago's 2013 Bib Gourmands
64 Restaurants are Designated the "Inspectors' Favorites for Good Value"
CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Michelin released its coveted list of Bib Gourmands exactly one week prior to the launch of the highly anticipated MICHELIN Guide Chicago 2013. There were 64 restaurants selected across the Chicagoland area this year, with 19 newly added to the category.

Inclusion in the MICHELIN Guide is, in itself, synonymous with quality, and while the Michelin stars are certainly the most celebrated, the Bib Gourmand designation is a highly desired distinction among restaurateurs. It represents restaurants that serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included). Most importantly, these are places that Michelin's esteemed inspectors would frequent themselves.
The MICHELIN Guide Chicago 2013 offers readers a tremendously diverse selection to choose from. Among the Bib Gourmands, 22 different cuisine types are represented and choices are provided in each of the 14 areas covered, including the neighborhoods of downtown Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
The Bib Gourmands are selected by Michelin's famously anonymous inspectors who dine across Chicago regularly. These local inspectors are trained to scrupulously apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full.
The third edition of the MICHELIN Guide Chicago goes on sale Wednesday, November 14 at $18.99.
