Topline:
The 2023 Michelin Guide for California announced its awards last night in Oakland. One of the night's biggest winners was Heritage, owned by brother-sister duo Phillip and Lauren Pretty, who earned their first Michelin star along with a Green star for their sustainable practices.
Why it matters: This is a big win for L.A.'s sister city, further putting it on the map as a culinary destination for approachable fine dining.
The backstory: Other wins include Hollywood-based Providence, known for its sustainable seafood cuisine. It earned two stars, as well as a Green star. California now has 15 of the 17 Green stars nationwide.
Other wins include: Austin Hennelly from Kato won the Exceptional Cocktails award for his program in the Row shopping center just south of downtown Los Angeles.
Check out ... the rest of the winners from last night.
