The cooking accolades are quite different between the USA and the UK. In Europe the Michelin Star is very much the badge of honor that chefs strive for but these are not common in the US. There are three levels, named not unsurprisingly, 1*, 2* and 3* and if you go to a 3* restaurant you are guaranteed the food of a lifetime. They are only used in 3 US cities – Chicago and San Francisco being two. Undoubtedly, you can guess the other one and here are 8 Michelin Star Restaurants in New York.
