Though stars aren’t guaranteed in future editions of the guide, both Enclos and Table Culture Provisions are on the radar of Michelin Inspectors

The year of Michelin honors is officially under way. The dining world’s prestigious Michelin Guide on Wednesday named 15 restaurants in the Bay Area, Central Coast and Southern California as “new discoveries” — a prelude to the release later this year of its California stars.

This winter has been a busy season for Chef Jeremy Ford, the force behind the Michelin-starred restaurant Stubborn Seed in Miami Beach. He has made it through the grueling first year at the organic Ford’s Farm, his 5.5 acre stretch of land in Homestead. In February, he and his team opened a new Stubborn Seed at Resorts World Las Vegas in February.
