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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
