It’s Michelin season! As a preview to the big stars that will be announced next week, the restaurant rating guide has announced their San Francisco Bay Area Bib Gourmand Awards. It’s a huge feather in the caps of moderately-priced restaurants (ie: the ones most of us can actually afford) and a definite pathway to the stars.
This year’s Bib winners for Wine Country include
Backyard (Forestville)
Bistro Jeanty (Yountville)
Bistro 29 (Santa Rosa),
C Casa (Napa),
Chalkboard (Healdsburg)
Cook (St. Helena),

Cucina Paradiso cut from the list? Seriously? Unbelievable!
Heather, I heard that Cucina Paradiso didn’t make the cut this year. Can you double check? I haven’t seen a drop in service or quality over the past two years, so I wonder what was the reasoning. Maybe it will be easier to get a table?

Cucina Paradiso DID make the list.
Says so, above.
I’m just upset that Burger King didn’t.
This from the michelin web-site seems to indicate that no, Cucina didn’t make Bib Gourmand this year:

I’m sorry, that was an oversight. I’m really sorry about that. Looks like Cucina Paradiso didn’t’ make the list.
What no Guy Fieri restaurants? I demand a recount!
