The MICHELIN Guide has set a date and location for the reveal of the inaugural selection of the MICHELIN Guide American South. South Carolina has been chosen as the host territory for the ceremony which will be held on the evening of Nov. 3 in Greenville, S.C. at the Peace Center.
“We are excited to honor and celebrate the talented culinary community of the American South in just a few months,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. “South Carolina is home to southern staples, fresh seafood and a homegrown culinary community full of passion and innovation, making it the perfect place to celebrate the region’s culinary talents. Our anonymous Inspectors look forward to finally sharing their discoveries with the world.”
As the MICHELIN Guide continues to be committed to promoting the gastronomy players of tomorrow and the diversity of cuisines across its destinations, the Guide seeks to hold its annual ceremony in different territories each year. With a strong culinary history focused on homegrown and authentic ingredients, South Carolina proved to be the perfect fit for the 2025 MICHELIN Guide American South Ceremony.
“Southern food and hospitality are the heartbeat of our flavorful, inviting, and diverse regional culture and identity,” said Duane Parish, Director of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT). “South Carolina is proud to host both the MICHELIN Guide and our regional partners with the local support of VisitGreenvilleSC. We look forward to the highly anticipated announcement of the inaugural American South restaurant selections.”
Chefs will be invited to discover whether their restaurants have received a MICHELIN Star or another MICHELIN Guide distinction. Attendance is by invitation only.
