I know the article listed a few of the restaurants who lost their bib status but anyone got the full list?

Surprised proxi was removed. Ate there Saturday and it was spectacular.

Went to Ina Mae near to when they first opened. It was fine, but definitely nothing special. Their being recognized by the Michelin guide is a surprise to me.

Sifr is great! Highly recommend

I’ve always personally put more faith in this list than stars only because it’s far more approachable.
Proxi is still on this list despite other reporting.
Not at all surprised about Ina Mae leaving. Cira was pretty legit though the last few times I went but I did hear there was some new bar management shake up’s.
All in all, my favorite places are rarely represented here anyway so not sure what that means about me or the Michelin critics…

Cabra is a mayonnaise city. Didn’t like it much.

The variation of quality on the job gourmand list is pretty massive.

I understand why they needed to remove a lot, but man there are so many good ones they should have added. Why wasn’t Maxwell’s Trading added at the very least? This was a brutal year for Chicago Michelin Guide.

Wild that Valhalla didn’t make the cut. It’s better than a lot of these spots.

Not surprising, anecdotally I feel like the quality of food and service here is gradually declining

Rick Bayless just keep on keeping on, keeping that star to Topo and that Bib for Frontera.

How did Smyth keep their third star? Who are they sucking off? It’s been absolutely terrible this season.
Proxi falling off the BG list is a travesty.

Stars don’t mean much as they used to. I’ve had better service at some hole-in-the wall places than 1 star places

Michelin is doing the absolute bare minimum to maintain their presence here. They have clearly lost a lot of focus on the city compared to a few years ago.
They didn’t add in any way many of what have been talked about widely as the best openings in the city to a guide that will be their “state of the art” for the next 12 months.
List of places not included in any way that have been generally mentioned among the years best new places
– Brasero – Akahoshi Ramen – Mariscos San Pedro – Tre Dita – Nettare – Mirra
All of these are places I would expect the guide to like based on visits/what I have heard about them. The fact they haven’t even checked them out seemingly is pretty weak. Several of the places they did add (John’s food and wine, maxwells, warlord) all seem like they easily fit bib gourmand status too.
Guide is becoming less and less useful year by year.
