"The biggest New York news for the Northeast Michelin awards was that two-Michelin-starred Sushi Sho landed three Michelin stars. The omakase restaurant from Keiji Nakazawa comes from "one of the most influential sushi masters in the world," former New York Times critic Pete Wells noted in his profile last year. Following that big-deal accolade, the Korean 16th-floor restaurant, Joo Oak, from Hand Hospitality, moved up from one to two stars."
"Several days before the ceremony in an uncharacteristic move, Michelin notified three restaurants with the three-star status that they'd be losing a star. Expensive sushi temple Masa was one of them, along with Virginia's Inn at Little Washington, and Grant Achatz's Alinea in Chicago. The Tuesday night award ceremony was held at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts; it was a fast-moving celebration that jammed more cities in one ceremony than ever."
Sushi Sho upgraded to three Michelin stars. Joo Oak advanced from one to two. Michelin informed three three-star restaurants days before the ceremony that they would lose a star: Masa, the Inn at Little Washington, and Alinea. The award ceremony took place at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center and included nominees from New York, D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston. Java Ingram emceed. Annie Shi won the Sommelier award; India Doris won the Young Chef Award. Family Meal at Blue Hill, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Dirt Candy, and One White Street retained green stars for sustainability. Restaurants that maintained three stars include Jungsik, Eleven Madison Park, Le Bernardin, Per Se, and Smyth.
