RIP to Michelin's Green Stars
The Michelin Guide has decided to retire its Green Stars, which were introduced in 2020 to recognize chefs' sustainability efforts. This change has sparked disappointment among sustainable chefs, as Michelin shifts its focus towards expanding into new territories. In place of the Green Stars, Michelin will launch an editorial platform called Mindful Voices to highlight stories and practices of chefs and producers.
