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.
