The Lone Star State just earned a few more stars — 15 to be exact. Michelin and Travel Texas teamed up to launch the first Michelin Guide Texas, and the inaugural stars were awarded in Houston.

Southeast Fort Worth’s Goldee’s Barbecue received a Bib Gourmand Award for offering a high-quality meal at a reasonable price.

Nearly 20 North Texas restaurants were given Michelin recommendations — not quite a star, but a nod to culinary excellence — including South Main smokehouse Panther City BBQ and the Eastside’s Birrieria Y Taquieria Cortez.

The stars last until the next guide is announced. Keep an eye on ATXtoday and SATXtoday for other foodie announcements further south.
