Old news, right? Bizarre that they’d add a closed place.
The latest L.A. additions are Asterid, Caboco (which is currently closed in the Arts District but expected to reopen in a yet-to-be-announced location), Camphor, Chulita, Damian, Hatchet Hall, Kinn, Kodō, LA Cha Cha Chá, Matū, Meteora, Pizzeria Bianco, Saffy’s, San Laurel, Sushi Kaneyoshi, Yangban Society and Yunomi Handroll. Rebel Omakase and Valle, both in Orange County, also are new inclusions, as is Kingfisher in San Diego. Along with this latest batch of newcomers is the announcement that this year’s ceremony revealing the California Guide star awardees will be held on Dec. 5.
Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a full menu of a starter, main course and dessert, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $49 USD or less (tax and gratuity not included).

I had the same thought, and looked at their menu. Turns out you can if you get the cheapest things (i.e. olives for your starter). LOL technically true, I suppose, but they feel like they’re in a different price class than everyone else there.
As far as the most memorable bites the anonymous chief inspector tasted across more than 300 dining destinations during lunch and dinner service, there was a particular sweetbread dish with Japanese black curry he thought was “absolutely phenomenal.” Still, he remained tight-lipped about which San Francisco-based restaurant the star dish belonged to ahead of tonight’s ceremony.
also the fact that nari has zero stars and kin khao has 1 star remains completely ludicrous… kin khao arguably deserves the 1* but then nari should be 2* or at the very least 1*
