I see that the new Michelin guide is due to come out tomorrow. Here's a story in the Chronicle that lists all the restaurants. Michelin Guide

Main news is that La Toque and Quince both lost their stars, Coi gained a second one.

I think it's also news that French Laundry maintained their three star status...the only restaurant in the Bay Area with that claim. Now if only I knew somebody that worked there that could help me get a reservation?? Hmmm.... Chris

The fact that Manresa maintains a star shows how ridiculous this is. I'm sorry - the restaurant cannot cook duck such that it is not chewy. French Laundry still deserves 3 stars based on my experience. With Bob & Stacy, it was not the transforming experience it was the previous occasion, but it was excellent from start to finish, with only a couple of dishes that I would consider "misses". (Not bad, but not great either) They are easily as consistent as 2 and 3 star restaurants in UK, Italy and France.

OMG... I just looked, and Manresa has two stars!!! This is a sign of the imminent apocalypse
