"I attended (and observed reports that) the invite‑only inaugural Texas Michelin Guide ceremony at 713 Music Hall in Downtown Houston, where the hall was cloaked in Michelin red, the Michelin man mingled for photos, and a cocktail hour offered passed hors d’oeuvres, a jamón ibérico carving station, caviar, charcuterie cones, and mini apple pies to modern tunes and a live violin; notable attendees included Houston mayor John Whitmire, Adriana Cruz, and first lady Cecilia Abbott, and floating astronauts from the International Space Center delivered the event’s kickoff message." - Eater Staff
"Hosted a high-energy kickoff for the inaugural Texas Michelin Guide, the venue was cloaked in Michelin red and populated by the Michelin mascot as chefs and guests mingled. A cocktail hour featured passed hors d’oeuvres, a jamón ibérico carving station, caviar, charcuterie cones, mini apple pies and live violin accompaniment. Dignitaries including the city mayor, the state’s tourism director and the first lady attended, and astronauts from the International Space Center delivered an opening message. Chefs from Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio filled the audience as awards were announced—eliciting everything from tears to loud cheers—before a confetti-filled finale and afterparties that continued in the cocktail area and around the city." - Brittany Britto Garley
"On Monday night, November 11, this Houston music hall hosted the first-ever Michelin ceremony for Texas restaurants, drawing chefs, restaurateurs, and food writers from across the state. The event celebrated Texas cuisine—most notably awarding Michelin stars to barbecue joints—and had a buzzy, celebratory feel; a room packed with reporters meant little was off the record, and editors from regional Eater outlets and national staff circulated, collecting off-the-record anecdotes, gossip, and random impressions. Overall it was an energetic, revelatory night for Texas food." - Courtney E. Smith

"An event venue in Downtown Houston selected to host the inaugural Texas Michelin Guide awards ceremony; the invite-only event was scheduled for Monday, November 11, with the program beginning at 6 p.m. and a live stream set to start at 7 p.m. It served as the setting where inspectors' rankings — including potential stars, Green Stars, Bib Gourmands, and other recommendations — would be officially announced." - Brittany Britto Garley
