Restaurants such as Lucques, Felix, Republique, Lukshon, Bestia, Bavel, Gjelina and Night + Market, to name but a few off the top of my head, did not even rate a Bib Gourmand designation.

Only two restaurants in Orange County and one in San Diego received stars.

Santa Barbara struck out.

Not a single Korean restaurant got even one star. Seriously?

The late Jonathan Gold was right, Los Angeles does not need a Michelin Guide.
