The San Francisco Peninsula – the region’s Travel & Tourism Board - is pleased to announce that it will host California’s 2024 MICHELIN Guide Ceremony in Half Moon Bay on Monday, August 5, at The Ritz-Carlton. The annual MICHELIN Guide selection of California restaurants will be announced and celebrated at the event, with accomplished chefs from across the state in attendance, along with global media.
“We are deeply honored that our organization and the iconic Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay have been selected to host such a prestigious culinary event,” said John Hutar, President and CEO of The San Francisco Peninsula. “There’s no time like the present to explore the Peninsula’s world-class culinary scene. In one of the nation’s most diverse counties and with so many cultures proudly calling the Peninsula their home - we are a melting pot of exciting food culture. From over 17 MICHELIN-recognized restaurants to locally loved and family-owned dining establishments, we take great pride in celebrating fantastic food and multi-cultural experiences.”
The San Francisco Peninsula boasts an exceptional culinary scene, offering an unparalleled experience for epicurean enthusiasts. With over 50 working farms and thriving bay harbors offering seafood fresh off the dock at all times of the year, the region is known for its vibrant array of farm-to-table and fusion cuisine set against a stunning backdrop of ocean, redwoods and history.
The MICHELIN Guide continuously monitors the development of culinary destinations worldwide. This independent publication is produced by anonymous MICHELIN inspectors who have applied the following five criteria for over a century when assessing a restaurant: 1) quality of products; 2) harmony of flavors; 3) mastery of cooking techniques; 4) the chef’s personality reflected in the cuisine; and 5) consistency across visits (each restaurant is inspected multiple times a year) and throughout the entire menu.
“Our famously anonymous inspectors are eager to celebrate and share the selection of restaurants for 2024, and we look forward to toasting with the chefs and restaurant teams to celebrate their extraordinary accomplishments,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “California continues to showcase an impressive gastronomy scene with international influences and outstanding cuisine.”

In the wake of a worldwide technology outage, my Sunday afternoon flight with Delta Air Lines from Boston Logan (BOS) to San Francisco (SFO) was canceled, and the next option to fly on Delta was nearly 48 hours later. I rebooked myself on United Airlines, which got me to my destination just over 12 hours later than originally scheduled—at a cost that exceeded $2,000. Thankfully, I was traveling for work and the new flight was covered as a business expense. If I was paying out of my own pocket, however, I would have submitted the new flight for reimbursement via the travel insurance coverage offered through my credit card.

Beyoncé background dancer Honey Balenciaga recently told us that she always dresses well when traveling. “I don’t know where that culture died,” she lamented in a recent interview. It’s something that editors at Traveler have long had feelings about—the way we show up to the airport, where parents once forced some of us to don blazers and loafers in order to look presentable. Comfortable clothing has, understandably, proliferated on the scene, in tandem with the tanking of the flying experience’s dignity, and in the past decade the situation has devolved to the point where pajama bottoms, flip flops, and t-shirts with sagging necklines are at least as common as a button-down.
