Michelin is coming to Minneapolis. Big restaurant news: Minneapolis is suddenly part of the new Great Lakes Michelin restaurant group, and Mspmag might get some stars! But what about St. Paul? April 8, 2026 This morning, Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guides, announced the formation of Michelin: American Great Lakes edition. He announced there would be six cities included: Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh. "The Great Lakes are not just part of the conversation, we're leading the conversation," said a tourism representative from Milwaukee. Wait. What? No St. Paul? Yikes. I got that confirmed, because I couldn't believe it. Minneapolis is in an alliance with Cleveland, but not St. Paul? Something's not right. Announcements of who gets the Michelin stars will be made in 2027. Rumors have been swirling about this for a while, as they were during the last hunt for Top Chef, when Minnesota lost out to everywhere but especially Wisconsin. The story behind the story I have heard about Michelin and Top Chef over the years is: It's very, very expensive to get Michelin Guide inspectors on the ground - they have to get paid, stay in hotels, go to restaurants three times, then they have to pay photographers and editors. It costs a lot. And what I've heard, year after year, is: Tourism in Minnesota is when people from the Cities go and hire a walleye guide on Gull Lake. Tourism is people in the Cities renting canoes, playing golf, or hunting in Greater Minnesota. Tourism here is perceived mainly as an outflow of money from the Cities to Greater Minnesota. As Melvin Tennant, president and CEO of Meet Minneapolis said during today's press conference: Minneapolis has "been called unexpected, underrated, and even the best kept secret, and we want to change that." And if the conversation about Minnesota is going to be changed, it looks like Minneapolis is changing it alone. It's very interesting that it seems no state tourism dollars were used here. According to Meet Minneapolis spokesperson Kevin Kurtt, no Explore Minnesota state dollars were used for this, it is purely "an initiative of the Minneapolis Tourism Improvement District." (If you have more questions on that, read their FAQ.) As I thought about the prospect of Michelin coming to town over the last few months, I came up with a short list: The Gavin Kaysen restaurants Spoon and Stable, Demi, Bellecour North Loop, and Mara; Shigeyuki Furukawa's Kado No Mise; Karyn Tomlinson's Myriel; Diane Moua's Diane's Place; Adam and Jeanie Janas Ritter's Bûcheron; Yia Vang's Vinai; Russell Klein and Desta Marie's Meritage; and maybe a couple more. Michelin restaurants, in this six-time James Beard Award-winning critic's opinion, tend to prefer more formal service. To refresh your memory, Michelin awards three categories of awards. There are the starred restaurants, like New York City's three-star Le Bernardin, or the whole raft of Chicago one-star restaurants like Schwa. Then there are "Bib Gourmands" restaurants that have "great value," which works out like a fourth tier. A few years ago they added "Michelin Recommended" - which the restaurant community seems to take as the signal that if you tighten up your game you can get a Bib Gourmand - but which Michelin says just signals a good restaurant. Who knows. While Michelin may add a taco spot or two now and then, it's really like the guy in the Grey Poupon limousine saying, "I do have a casual side!" Sure pal, you probably needed that Grey Poupon for a hot dog. Want to make your own star list? Start eating your way through its Top 50 and Hall of Fame. Mspmag spend all year working on this, and I think it will contain whatever they come out with in the end. I can also guarantee that you'll have a lot of fun as you go. I reached out to Gavin Kaysen, who's been talking about this in his restaurants when he visits tables to talk to guests for years. "Years ago I'd advocate for it, with anyone and everyone who would listen to me," Kaysen told me. "I've looked at it in a few ways. Do you remember when the Zagat guide was something people paid attention to?" I do. It was before the Internet, mainly, and the three-inch-wide little books were a big component of every New York City resident's briefcase or Birkin bag. "It was something people who were traveling really paid attention to," recalled Kaysen; the guides would be in hotels, and often were part of what a guest could take away from their room. "When Zagat left, we lost a lot." Kaysen said it allowed tourists to feel like they had a handle on a strange-to-them and new dining scene. "The other way I think of it is about talent, and talent retention," Kaysen continued. "There are people who work in Michelin-starred restaurants, that's their identity, maybe as a maître d', maybe a sommelier, a server, a cook. If someone left town and had this Michelin career, they're probably not going to 'come home' unless they can land at a Michelin-starred restaurant. It's a way to bring talent back home." The third way to think about it is purely as a way to drive tourism to Minneapolis. "When Bobby Stuckey, of Frasca, came to Spoon and Stable as part of our Synergy Series, it was soon after they got their Michelin star, and Bobby said: 'We had 100 reservations on a Saturday before it was announced, and 100 after, that's our normal Saturday. But after, 40 percent of the guests were from out of town,'" Kaysen said. What would the multiplier effect be for out-of-town guests, once Mspmag figure in the hotels, the coffee shops, the shopping at its great local stores, taxi rides, souvenirs, and everything? It could be enormous! But on the other hand, look at Boston, where the inspectors came and awarded one - count them, one - Michelin star as well as 25 Bib Gourmands and Michelin Recommended restaurants. Does Boston think having Michelin come to town was worth anything? Discuss among yourselves, because Mspmag has a solid year to kick this story around. The first Great Lakes announcements of Michelin decisions on the six-city group of, and I repeat myself, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh (but not St. Paul), will be made in 2027 in: Detroit! In the intervening time, could St. Paul join? Life is fluid! I hope so. Otherwise, this feels problematic, as the kids say. Mspmag reached out for comment from Visit St. Paul and Explore Minnesota for any insight as to how this process came together, and why its Twin Cities won't be considered as one. So far, Mspmag has only gotten a somewhat veiled comment back from Explore Minnesota, they're thrilled that Michelin is coming to Minneapolis, and they are "looking forward to seeing more Minnesota restaurants being recognized." Until then, Gavin Kaysen put a bow on it for me, and I'll give him the last word. "It's exciting. But we have no idea what it really means, yet."
Corps Security wins three-year contract at Michelin's UK head office. Posted on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 Share: SECURITY SPECIALIST and social enterprise Corps Security has been appointed to provide bespoke security services at tyre manufacturer Michelin's factory located on Campbell Road in Stoke-on-Trent, the UK home of the famous French company's head office and commercial headquarters. The site also encompasses a truck tyre retreading factory. The three-year contract will see a team of nine trained and Security Industry Authority-licensed security professionals move across to Corps Security by virtue of the TUPE Regulations to be led by a dedicated site supervisor. Corps Security will provide security guarding services, including site patrols, Front-of-House customer service and visitor management for Michelin's manufacturing and storage facility. Given the nature of the materials and the sheer volumes involved, the site presents significant fire risk considerations and requires robust emergency procedures and Health and Safety protocols to be in place at all times. Corps Security will also provide ongoing consultancy through Corps Intel, the organisation's intelligence and specialist risk management consultancy. This will include threat and vulnerability assessments for the location. Brand licensing programme Michelin, of course, is a global leader in the domain of tyre manufacturing for aircraft, cars, bicycles and motorsports. Thousands of tyres are produced and held at the company's extensive facility in Staffordshire. Based at the Stoke-on-Trent facility, Michelin Lifestyle Limited (MLL) focuses on Michelin's worldwide brand licensing programme. MLL works collaboratively with licensing partners to develop "innovative, stylish and desirable" Michelin products including automotive and cycle accessories, footwear, apparel, accessories and equipment purpose-designed for work, sport and leisure in addition to a range of gifts, collectibles and personal accessories that promote Michelin's heritage and culture. The on-site Michelin Training and Information Centre (MTIC) delivers comprehensive training in all areas of the tyre business. Courses cover technical aspects related to tyres, accident investigation and hands-on fitting and maintenance techniques as well as sales, management and Health and Safety. In addition, the MTIC runs mystery shopping exercises and often creates bespoke courses built around specific customer needs. Growing portfolio Dale Johnson, regional director of Corps Security, informed Security Matters: "We're proud to welcome Michelin to our growing portfolio of customers across the West Midlands. The new contract is part of our broader growth strategy in the region. Indeed, this contract award highlights our expertise in delivering robust security solutions for complex industrial environments. We now look forward to building a strong and successful partnership with what is such a globally respected organisation." Carl Forster, buyer for the UK and the Nordics at Michelin, responded: "We operate a complex site that requires a highly resilient security provider. Corps Security's strong presence in the region and experience of dealing with our industry made them the right choice. We were also impressed by the company's status as a social enterprise, duly demonstrating the value the business places on actively supporting its colleagues."
American Great Lakes to join the global culinary map with new MICHELIN Guide edition. Today the MICHELIN Guide introduced the latest expansion into the Great Lakes region of the U.S. with the announcement of the MICHELIN Guide American Great Lakes edition. This multi-city Guide will cover the six cities of Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. "The MICHELIN Guide is committed to fostering a culture of travel and dining by helping people discover unforgettable culinary experiences in new destinations," said Gwendal Poullennec, Internation Director of the MICHELIN Guide. "We are excited to finally be putting a stake in the ground in the Great Lakes region, spotlighting the talent and food cultures across these six great cities. Our anonymous Inspectors have begun canvassing these cities for impressive culinary talent and are eager to share their experiences with you in the inaugural selection next year." The MICHELIN Guide's anonymous Inspectors are already in the field, making dining reservations and scouting for culinary gems throughout the region. The full restaurant selection will be revealed in 2027 at the MICHELIN Guide American Great Lakes Ceremony, which will be announced at a later date. "Cleveland's nationally recognized culinary scene is a hallmark of our visitor experience, and our chefs have earned the attention of the MICHELIN Guide," said David Gilbert, president & CEO of Destination Cleveland. "As Destination Cleveland continues its work to attract visitors and strengthen perceptions of our city around the U.S. and the world, association with the MICHELIN Guide offers an opportunity to attract new travelers and boost local restaurants' sales." "Being named a MICHELIN Guide destination is a milestone moment for Detroit and Southeast Michigan," said Claude Molinari, President & CEO, Visit Detroit. "It reinforces Detroit's emergence as a premier culinary destination in the United States, known for its diverse dining scene, world-class chefs and authentic food culture. This recognition puts us on a global stage, attracting new visitors, elevating our chefs and restaurateurs, and reinforcing food as a driver of tourism and economic growth. We're incredibly excited about what this means for the future of our destination." INDIANAPOLIS "We are delighted that the MICHELIN Guide team has chosen to explore Indianapolis' culinary scene," said Leonard Hoops, president & CEO of Visit Indy. "As a transplanted Midwesterner from Northern California, I've been fortunate to have enjoyed a few MICHELIN-recommended experiences all around the globe. I've personally come to depend on their expertise, independence, and impartiality. And having personally seen Indianapolis' dining experiences elevate during the past 15 years, I welcome this opportunity to shine a brighter light on Indy's culinary creativity, authenticity, and overall excellence." "Milwaukee has always been a city that shows up at the table with confidence, creativity and a point of view all its own," said Peggy Williams-Smith, President & CEO of Visit Milwaukee. "The MICHELIN Guide recognizing our city is a proud moment for our community and a testament to the incredibly talented chefs and hospitality professionals who make dining here so memorable. Their craft, care and unmistakable Milwaukee spirit create experiences you can't find anywhere else, and we're ready for the world to discover it." MINNEAPOLIS "This is a defining moment for Minneapolis. We have the talent, cultural diversity and quality to stand with any culinary destination in the world," said Melvin Tennant, president and CEO of Meet Minneapolis. "With the incredible and enduring reputation of the MICHELIN Guide, this is a moment that moves us from being a 'best-kept secret' to being part of the global culinary conversation. And through a collaborative approach made possible through our new Minneapolis Tourism Improvement District, it will inspire more of the world's food lovers to visit our city." PITTSBURGH "This partnership with the MICHELIN Guide is an exciting opportunity to showcase the incredible creativity and modern diversity of Pittsburgh's culinary community on a global stage," said VisitPITTSBURGH President & CEO Jerad Bachar. "Our chefs and restaurateurs have been building a vibrant food scene for years, and this recognition will help attract new visitors, support local hospitality jobs, and strengthen Pittsburgh's reputation as an exciting culinary destination for taste driven travelers." The MICHELIN Guide is constantly observing the evolution of culinary destinations around the world. The Guide's selection process is determined by anonymous Inspectors and remains completely independent. The MICHELIN Guide is working with various destination marketing organizations on marketing and promotional activities only. The MICHELIN Guide in North America Michelin announced its first North American Guide in 2005 for New York. Guides have also been added in Chicago (2011); Washington, D.C. (2017); California (San Francisco in 2007, statewide 2019); Florida (Greater Miami, Orlando and Tampa in 2022, adding Greater Fort Lauderdale, The Palm Beaches and St. Pete-Clearwater in 2025, statewide in 2026); Toronto (2022); Vancouver (2022); Colorado (2023); Atlanta (2023), Mexico (2024), Texas (2024), Québec (2024), the American South (2025), Boston (2025), Philadelphia (2025), the Southwest (2026) and now the American Great Lakes (2027). About the MICHELIN Guide Recognized globally for excellence and quality, the MICHELIN Guide offers a selection of world-class restaurants. * The famous one, two and three MICHELIN Stars identify establishments serving exceptional cuisine that's rich in flavor, remarkably executed and infused with the personality of a talented chef. * The Bib Gourmand is a designation given to select restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value - often known as personal favorites among the inspectors when dining on their own time. * The Green Star honors restaurants that are pioneers in mindful gastronomy. * Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors. The MICHELIN Guide remains a reliable companion for any traveler seeking an unforgettable meal and hospitality experience. The Guide was first published in France at the turn of the 20th century to encourage the development of car mobility as well as tire sales by giving practical advice to motorists. Progressively, the Guide has specialized in restaurant and hotel recommendations. Michelin's inspectors still use the same criteria and manner of selection that were used by the inspectors in the very beginning. The restaurant selections join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay around the world. Visit the MICHELIN Guide website, or download the free app for iOS and Android, to discover every restaurant in the selection and book an amazing hotel. Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently in more than 60 destinations, the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining. All restaurants in the Guide are recommended by Michelin's anonymous inspectors, who are trained to 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, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated. To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These criteria guarantee a consistent and fair selection so a Starred restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is in Paris, New York or anywhere else in the world.
Lazada and Michelin forge partnership to revolutionise online tyre sales across Southeast Asia. * By TT News * April 07, 2026 Lazada, a major e-commerce player in Southeast Asia, has entered a strategic collaboration with Michelin to transform how drivers buy tyres online. By merging digital commerce capabilities with Michelin's mobility expertise, the partnership seeks to improve operational efficiency, build consumer confidence and simplify the entire purchasing process across the region. A pilot programme will launch in Thailand during the first quarter of 2026, featuring a dedicated Michelin flagship store on LazMall. From there, the initiative will extend to other Southeast Asian markets. The companies plan to co-invest in a framework that streamlines tyre buying on LazMall by incorporating Michelin's authorised distributors into Lazada's ecosystem. This integration supports better inventory control, guarantees product authenticity and widens customer reach. Educational campaigns promoting road safety and proper tyre maintenance are also part of the plan. As part of the agreement, Michelin will onboard its authorised local partners and distributors onto Lazada's platform, giving them access to Lazada's regional customer base. Lazada will further support Michelin's loyalty efforts through its membership programme, bridging offline and online interactions. This aligns with Michelin's broader offline-to-online strategy while reinforcing product authenticity and service quality for drivers throughout the region. Varitha Kiatpinyochai, CEO, Lazada Thailand, said, "This partnership with Michelin reflects Lazada's commitment to building a high-trust premium eCommerce platform that goes beyond transactions. By combining Michelin's global leadership in mobility and safety with Lazada's technology, logistics and regional know-how, we are creating a more integrated journey that gives consumers greater confidence, convenience and peace-of-mind." Paul Perriniaux, Vice President for Sales, B2C, Michelin Asia Pacific, said, "This partnership lets us deliver that promise digitally: clear guidance, authentic products and seamless after sales support, all anchored in Michelin's vision for safer, long-lasting and more sustainable mobility. By working with Lazada, we will shape a meaningful, end to end journey that puts consumers first - before, during, and long after their purchase."
