FWIW, the @MichelinGuideNA process in Tampa Bay is 90% BS. The Guide was paid a lot of money to review restaurants in the market. It had to come up with something for that $.
Yes, Rocca, Kosen, Koya, probably deserve stars, but the manner in which they got them diminishes it.

In 2025, Texas passed a single-stair bill co-sponsored by Rep. @jamestalarico, making it easier for cities to allow single-stair buildings up to 6 stories.
These buildings lower construction costs, fit on smaller lots & make family-sized housing units more feasible.
