Think You’re Up for a Michelin-Starred Road Trip Across America?

Are you up for a food fueled road trip across America? Each year, the esteemed Michelin Guide awards stars to restaurants that deliver the ultimate fine dining experiences. In 2016, 159 restaurants in the United States earned stars, making them culinary destinations truly worth the trip.

Travel site Orbitz has created an interactive map that outlines the most efficient route to hit all 159 restaurants in the Michelin Star Spangled Road Trip. The restaurants are all located in four states: California, Illinois, Maryland (Washington, D.C.) and New York and the trip encompasses a total of 3,426 miles. Just imagine the wild gastronomic thrill of beginning a road trip with a White Negroni Spagliato at Kinship in Washington, D.C., and ending with uniquely communal and highly seasonal 14-course tasting menu at Lazy Bear in San Francisco.
