For more than a century the Michelin Guide has been reviewing noteworthy restaurants all over the world. With three different star ratings, one star is awarded for “a very good restaurant in it’s category”, two stars are awarded for “Excellent cooking, worth a detour”, and three stars are awarded for “Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”.

Most recently twelve restaurants in Washington, DC earned earned Michelin stars, but none received the highest three star rating. Three restaurants got two stars and nine restaurants got one star. How many of these places have you visited?
