Cincinnati Joins Michelin Guide as Great Lakes Edition Expands

Cincinnati will be evaluated for Michelin stars as part of the American Great Lakes edition, with inspectors already in the field and a 2027 ceremony planned for inaugural selections. Officials say the inclusion could boost regional tourism and neighborhood economies, after Cincinnati was briefly left out due to an oversight.
