These Restaurants Have the First Michelin Awards in Colorado
We all know that Colorado has plenty of great restaurants. One of the things that was lacking was the global recognition of these great restaurants. Now, that recognition is a thing of the past as the Michelin Guide has expanded into parts of Colorado.
We now know what restaurants have received the first of the Michelin Awards. According to KDVR, nine restaurants in the Denver and Boulder have been recognized. All nine restaurants have received the Bib Gourmand Award. This Michelin award is based on great food at an affordable price. The Michelin Guide says that this award is hugely popular with the guide's followers as well as the Michelin inspectors.
