"We know that the catering industry still faces great challenges to get back on its feet," said Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the MICHELIN Guide, in a statement.

This decision, to some extent, also reflects the catering industry's views on industry awards during the new crown epidemic.In September of this year, the chef Aaron London of Al's Place told the media that in the process of the entire restaurant industry struggling to survive due to various natural and man-made disasters, the award appears to be of little value.. Araon London’s restaurant in San Francisco has maintained one Michelin star for the past 5 years.

The organizing committee stated that Michelin will help the recovery of California’s catering industry in another way: at 10 pm on October 27 this year.An online "Family Meal" event was held to invite California chefs to discuss the future of California's catering industry and new sustainable development models.
