Monte earns Utah's first Michelin Star in Southwest Guide

Monte, a South Salt Lake restaurant, earned Utah’s first MICHELIN Star in Michelin’s inaugural Southwest Guide unveiled in Las Vegas, with inspectors praising founder and head chef Martín Babio’s refined tasting menu that leans on local producers and a philosophy of letting nature lead. The recognition places Monte among a select group of top restaurants, and three other Utah spots—Feldman’s Deli, One More Noodle House, and Pho 777—were honored with Bib Gourmand distinctions for “great food at great value.”

The guide also awarded Bib Gourmand honors to Feldman’s Deli, Pho 777 and One More Noodle House, while five other Utah restaurants (Handle, Koyote, Matilda, Nelson Cottage and Star Of India) will join the guide without awards. Monte’s tasting menus are $120 for the short and $180 for the long; local officials celebrated the milestone as a boost to Utah’s culinary scene.

Michelin Performance Line Tires: Fast Rolling, Long-Lasting, With a Wet-Weather Catch

Pinkbike’s review flags Michelin’s Performance Line E-Wild and Wild Enduro tires as fast-rolling and long-wearing on dry, rocky trails, thanks to a harder Gum-X center and Magi-X side knobs plus a dual-ply 33 TPI casing with pinch protection; they’re cheaper than Racing Line ($83.99 vs $99.99) and offer strong damping, but grip suffers in wet conditions (roots/rocks) and tubeless mounting can be finicky, making them best suited for dry-weather riding where longevity matters. For wet climates or peak grip, racers might prefer Racing Line or alternatives like Specialized/Maxxis.

Bay Area Michelin Guide 2026: Californios and Enclos Crown Three Stars

At Michelin Guide California’s 2026 ceremony in San Diego, two Bay Area restaurants earned three stars for the first time: Californios in San Francisco and Enclos in Sonoma. Californios becomes the first Mexican restaurant in the U.S. to attain three stars, after rising from one to three since 2015; Enclos had jumped from two to three just six months after opening. Nine Bay Area venues joined the one-star club (including Troubadour in Healdsburg and Naides and Wolfsbane in San Francisco), while several others earned two stars (such as Acquerello, Birdsong, and Saison). The Bay Area also snagged special honors—Exceptional Cocktail Award to Evan Williams and Maria Isabel’s bar team, and the Michelin Service Award to Frida Blomdahl Hay of Sons & Daughters—though a few local spots lost stars (Kenzo Napa; Le Comptoir at Bar Crenn; O’ by Claude Le Tohic; The Shota). The ceremony briefly revived Green Stars for Monte’s (Santa Barbara) and Six Test Kitchen (Paso Robles). The piece provides the full Bay Area Michelin roster for 2026 across three-, two-, and one-star designations.

Michelin CrossClimate3 Debuts in Europe as US Sticks with CrossClimate2

Michelin’s CrossClimate3 is already on sale in Europe since mid-2025 but won’t hit North America yet, with CrossClimate2 serving US drivers for several more years. Tyre Reviews finds the CrossClimate3 offers better wet braking, stronger snow performance, lower rolling resistance, less road noise, and a comfier ride than the CrossClimate2, which remains a strong, high-mileage all-weather option. Europe also offers a CrossClimate3 Sport for performance cars, though the US market isn’t prioritizing winter-friendly performance tires.

Bridgestone Slips to Bottom in 2026 JD Power Performance Tire Ratings

JD Power's 2026 tire survey places Bridgestone at the bottom of the performance-tire segment with 768 points (below the 796 segment average), while Michelin leads with 818, followed by Goodyear at 805 and Pirelli at 801. Dunlop is the weakest in passenger tires at 723. Tire Rack data shows Bridgestone model-level variations—Potenza S005 is weak in ultra-high-performance summer, RE980AS+ and Potenza Sport AS perform well in all-season categories, but RE92 underperforms in wet/snow—suggesting inconsistent Bridgestone performance across models that may drag down the overall brand score.
