I've seen passing mention of Michelin Keys in other threads, but vaguely surprised not to see further discussion (there may be a reason - perhaps it's well known FTers hate Michelin, and I've missed that!). Interested to see folks' take on the (in)famous Guide's new undertaking.

Some decisions made sense to me (Auberge du Soleil, Hotel Bel Air, and Post Ranch Inn, among others, in CA), others did not. San Ysidro Ranch not mentioned at all is odd; SingleThread is a perfect 3 star restaurant but they're playing fast and loose with these designations calling the 5 room Inn - with no spa or pool - worthy of the attendant top tier hotel rating! In my opinion, the FS Surfside is 100x better than both the Setai and the Faena. Also following the Aman NY conversations here, and in my experience from this past weekend (spoiler: not very good!), I'm left to wonder if they're actually staying in the hotels they're visiting...

As we all know, there's no accounting for taste. Will anyone here be swayed by this guide? Or do we have other thoughts? Inquiring minds...
