Welcome to Deep Dish, a weekly roundup of food and entertainment news. Last week we discussed union workers striking at Starbucks across the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michelin, in one of its hotly anticipated and closely speculated annual ceremonies, welcomed a new cohort of starred restaurants to its lists in the Northeast and Chicago this week. Some newcomers joined the prestigious pack, while others saw their stars docked. The drama!<\/p>\n

Also this week, United Talent Agency signed Parmesan cheese\u2014naturally. The protein boom is coming to the bar, weaseling its way into your favorite cocktails. And in endearing cocktail news, some bartenders are upcycling food waste into beverages.<\/p>\n

Every year, restaurateurs and diners wait with bated breath to see which spots earned or lost Michelin stars, which are announced in regional ceremonies and then published in the organization\u2019s global guides. This year a Northeast category combined New York, Washington DC, and, for some reason, Chicago, with new inclusions for Philadelphia and Boston.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s Sushi Sho received the most prestigious three stars for the first time; Korean restaurant Joo Ok was promoted from one star to two. Meanwhile, restaurants Bridges, Muku, Huso, and Yamada received their very first Michelin distinctions. The infamously expensive Masa lost one of its three stars.<\/p>\n

Over in the Windy City, buzzy fine dining restaurant Alinea also went from three to two stars. Filipino restaurant Kasama (notably featured in the first season of The Bear) received two stars, and Feld, included in Bon App\u00e9tit\u2019s Best New Restaurants of 2025<\/a>, snagged one as well.<\/p>\n

Philly\u2019s first Michelin cohort\u2014Friday Saturday Sunday; Her Place Supper Club; and Provenance\u2014sits comfortably in the one-star category, standard for a rookie Michelin city. One of Bon App\u00e9tit\u2019s Best New Restaurants of 2023<\/a>, Pietramala, was awarded a green star for its commitment to sustainability.<\/p>\n

In Boston, one restaurant made the cut with one star: omakase counter Three 1 One. Washington, DC, saw no new stars added or removed from its list. \u2014Li Goldstein, associate newsletter editor<\/p>\n

Protein is inescapable right now\u2014it\u2019s in Starbucks cold foam<\/a>, it\u2019s infiltrated the snack aisle<\/a>, it\u2019s in cleverly marketed, VC-funded portable bars<\/a>. It was only a matter of time before protein got swizzled into our alcoholic beverages. As former Bon App\u00e9tit staff writer Ali Francis writes in VinePair<\/a>, a notable example is MATE! Vodka Protein Water, loaded with 8 grams of pea protein. While the category isn\u2019t soaring yet, it represents a logical convergence of American consumption proclivities. \u201cAll of these products tap into a broader American fantasy that\u2019s taken hold over the past few years\u2014that every choice we make, even the indulgent ones, should somehow count as self-improvement,\u201d Ali writes. \u201cBut whether these bevs sound like progress or paradox depends on how convinced you are that health and hedonism need to be in the same can.\u201d \u2014L.G.<\/p>\n

Parmesan\u2014the actual cheese\u2014signed with United Talent Agency this week in what we can confidently say is the first time fermented milk has partnered with such a prestigious talent agency (or any talent agency for that matter). The Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium and UTA signed the deal in hopes of securing the cheese\u2019s placement (roles? costars? single episode cameos?) on film, television, and streaming projects. The deal begs the question: If Parmesan is a movie star, where does it end? When Brie is on Broadway? Gruy\u00e8re at the Grammy\u2019s? Mimolette on the moon?! \u2014 Sam Stone, staff writer<\/p>\n

They\u2019re making milk punch from day-old croissants out there. And martinis from used feta brine. And Rob Roys with aged leg of lamb drippings. Yes, creative bartenders from coast to coast are investigating how they can cut down on food waste by giving a second life to spent foods. One man\u2019s food waste is another enterprising bartender’s cocktail canvas. Read all about how bartenders are making drinks as creative as they are eco-conscious. \u2014S.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to Deep Dish, a weekly roundup of food and entertainment news.
