Austin, United States
LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue holds back-to-back Michelin stars (2024 and 2025), a distinction that places this South Austin truck-based operation in a different conversation from the traditional pit-smoked circuit.

Nice, France
A Michelin-starred creative restaurant on Rue Bonaparte in Nice's left-bank quarter, Les Agitateurs has held one star continuously since 2024 under chefs Ron Hsu and Aaron Phillips.
