When a restaurant earns a MICHELIN Star, it doesn’t just temporarily boost business—it can change the entire trajectory of a chef’s career, open doors for its staff, and put a place on the map as a dining destination. Anytime a restaurant makes the list it’s a big deal, but making the inaugural list? Well, that’s cause for celebration. Without further ado, here are the first-ever MICHELIN-Star restaurants in Texas:
