The Michelin Guide, the prestigious series of guidebooks that rate restaurants around the world, is finally coming to Alabama.

Last month, the Michelin Guide publishers announced that they would move beyond larger urban centers and venture into other territories to better uncover the authentic food culture of the American South: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and the existing Atlanta Guide.

“We are excited to embark on this new journey for the Michelin Guide as this will be the first time since the Guide’s North American debut in 2005 that we are launching a regional selection,” said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guides. “The cuisine of the American South is a unique product of diverse influences creating an iconic array of specialties prepared by proud and impressive culinary talent.”
