A Michelin star is one of the highest honors a chef can attain.  A new guide is published each year, including only the best selections.  According to the guide, one star signifies a "very good cuisine in its category," a two-star ranking indicates "excellent cuisine, worth a detour," and three stars are awarded to restaurants offering "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey."  Below is the list of the San Francisco 2012 picks.
