Show me a single Michelin Star restaurant in the entire United States located in a strip mall. And besides, if they put Michelin Star restaurants in strip malls, they probably wouldn't be the marker of not much going on that they currently are.


One of the best restaurants in Silicon Valley, Alexander’s in Cupertino is effectively in a strip mall next to a Target and it’s far better than most of the good restaurants in “character-filled” San Francisco locations.

It’s so snobby and inaccurate to suggest a strip mall restaurant is “bad.” With the economics of restaurants, a strip mall location is often a great idea.


There are only Michelin guides for NYC, Chicago, San Francisco & DC.

You’d have a huge amount of Michelin stars in strip malls if LA even had the opportunity.

Even with that built in bias there are of course stars in strip malls.

There is a bib gourmand in a strip mall less than 3 blocks from where I sit.


It didn't even occur to you to simply Google "michelin star" "strip mall"?

Of course there are starred restuarants in strip malls.


I searched Michelin Star restaurants in the US and looked through them and couldn't find any, then posed the challenge. So, yeah, no I didn't actually Google that and I should have.


There's even a three-star in a strip mall if you consider all of Los Gatos a strip mall. (Hey-o!)
