The World’s First 3 Michelin Star Mexican Restaurant

Key Points:

• New York City’s late-night dining highlights include Vaselka’s pierogies and omelet, followed by Superiority Burger’s almond cake with labneh gelato and sour cherry jam, with a recommendation to visit a second location for dessert.
• The Bear’s fifth and final season premieres this week, accompanied by a culinary production team’s zine reflecting on changes in restaurant culture and the ongoing conversation about kitchen trauma and the “dirtbag chef” phenomenon.
• Michelin awarded three stars to Californios in San Francisco, marking the first time a Mexican restaurant worldwide has received this highest honor, alongside Enclos in Sonoma, both joining an elite group in California.
• Several gay bars in San Francisco’s Castro District use Patronscan’s Guard+ facial recognition technology to detect fake IDs, sparking privacy concerns and a petition by digital rights group Fight for the Future to remove the system.
• Public interest continues around Keke Palmer and Sean Evans’ relationship, which began with Evans’ admission of a crush and has unfolded through public appearances and discussions, with Palmer describing their relationship as progressing “one wing at a time.”
