(KMDL-FM) When most people think of the Michelin Guide, they picture white-tablecloth dining and prestigious Michelin stars awarded to the world’s top restaurants. But recently, Michelin inspectors turned their attention to a far more relatable — and handheld — culinary category: sandwiches.
Michelin Guide Expands Beyond Fine Dining
Last month, the Michelin Guide released a special list highlighting what its inspectors believe are the very best sandwiches in North America. After sampling everything from legendary Philadelphia cheesesteaks to stacked tortas in Mexico City, only seven sandwiches made the cut.
And Louisiana food lovers have a big reason to celebrate.

The Only Louisiana Sandwich to Make the List
The iconic muffaletta from Cochon Butcher in New Orleans earned a spot on Michelin’s exclusive list, standing as the lone Louisiana representative among the continent’s elite sandwiches. The recognition puts one of the Crescent City’s most beloved creations on the same level as some of North America’s most famous sandwich destinations.
“While The MICHELIN Guide may be synonymous with Stars, there’s so much more than fine dining in our carefully curated selections,” Michelin wrote in its announcement accompanying the list.
