From the MICHELIN Guide:
The famously anonymous MICHELIN Guide inspectors have revealed the newest Bib Gourmand restaurants for New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C., days ahead of what will be the largest North American MICHELIN Guide Ceremony to date. Eleven were chosen in New York, five in Chicago and two in Washington.
Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a meal of good quality at a good value.
La Tejana (Mt. Pleasant; Mexican cuisine)
Quick and efficient, this simple counter from Ana-Maria Jaramillo and Gus May serves just coffee and a handful of tacos mined from a time living in Texas. Their breakfast tacos offer a singular kind of satisfaction, each one made with a superb flour tortilla kept warm in tightly wrapped foil. Fillings include soft scrambled eggs, creamy pinto beans, queso and meats like bacon, chorizo and even brisket.

Yellow (Georgetown; Middle Eastern cuisine)
Chef/owner Michael Rafidi and team are behind this daytime casual concept, where Levantine cooking takes center stage thanks to a wood-burning oven. It’s always humming here, where long lines form for pastries, breakfast sandwiches or shashuka in the morning as well as pita sandwiches, spreads and sides.”
