Map Shows The Quickest Route To Every Michelin-Star Restaurant In The U.S.
Being awarded a Michelin Star is the highest honor a restaurant can receive, and eating at one can be a special culinary experience.
There are 159 total Michelin-starred restaurants in the U.S., and if you wanted to dine at every one of them, travel site Orbitz put together a road map that would provide the most efficient way to do so.
With the help of University of Pennsylvania scientist Randal Olson, Orbitz’s map shows that to hit every restaurant in New York (77 restaurants), San Francisco(54), Chicago (26) and Washington DC (12), you would have to travel about 3,426 miles over five months if you dined at one spot per night.
The longest drive between restaurants would be 2,111 miles, from two Michelin-starred Bouchon in Yountville, California and the one Michelin-starred El Ideas in Chicago. Once you’ve made it to the other side of the country, though, things get a bit easier.
Aside from the road map, the Orbitz site even went out of its way to list every single restaurant in alphabetical order, separated by state, and even provides how many Michelin stars each has.
Hey, if you have the vacation time and the money to hit the absolute best restaurants in America, here’s your map. If anything, this might spark your interest to at least hit up one.
