Ya se ha publicado la lista de Restaurantes Bib Gourmand de la Guía Michelin Chicago 2014, como ya sabemos, esta lista es la antesala que tiene como finalidad crear expectación (además de ofrecer información) mientras esperamos que se dé a conocer oficialmente la esperada guía roja. Al respecto hay que decir que según los rumores, no se esperan novedades significativas en la concesión de estrellas, pero como ya sabemos, con Michelin nunca se sabe.
Los restaurantes Bib Gourmand son aquellos establecimientos que han sido considerados y valorados por los inspectores Michelin por ofrecer una buena relación calidad/precio. El distintivo identifica a los restaurantes que ofrecen un menú correcto formado por un entrante, un plato principal, un postre y una copa de vino, por un precio que no supera los 40 dólares (casi 30 euros). La guía Bib Gourmand es esperada y celebrada, de hecho, es la categoría que más crecimiento experimenta y que resulta de gran interés para aquellos comensales que quieren disfrutar de un menú correcto a un precio asequible.
En la pasada edición de esta guía se reseñaban 64 restaurantes, en esta nueva edición encontramos 69 reseñas. Hay que decir que esta lista ha experimentado cambios notables, el número de restaurantes se ha incrementado en 5, pero en realidad se han incluido 21 nuevos establecimientos en esta categoría. Los comensales podrán elegir entre 22 tipos de cocina diferentes, en este sentido la oferta se mantiene como en la pasada edición. Es interesante recordar que en la guía Bib Gourmand del 2012 se reflejaban hasta 45 tipos de cocina diferentes. Hablando de la selección realizada por los inspectores, hay que decir que se han seguido los mismos criterios que se siguen a la hora de conceder las estrellas Michelin, el mejor modo de garantizar objetividad y excelencia según los responsables de la guía roja.
