Beloved downtown Tampa sandwich and wine shop Supernatural just celebrated Altons Brownshog Day in honor of the time the celebrity chef saved the shop, and today, founder Wesley Roderick and his team can add another plaque its wall of fame.

While the Michelin Guide already awarded 2023 stars and bibs to a few Tampa restaurants last summer, it just recently updated the guide with 19 more recommended restaurants—including Supernatural Food & Wine, Predalina, Streetlight Taco, The Pearl, Ebbe, and Kōsen.

A press release says the 2024 Michelin Guide Ceremony will be held April 18 in Tampa.

Inspectors for the guide—which Visit Tampa Bay welcomed to Tampa in 2022—missed out on mentioning the spot’s famous bacon, egg, and cheese or sour dougnuts, but praised Supernatural for its greek feta & olive sandwich, adding that the casual lunch and breakfast staple is a “a bright, mood-elevating kind of place.”

“We are proud to serve the Tampa community and will always strive to meet and exceed the expectations of our community,” Roderick told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay about the Michelin nod. “Fuck yeah, baby!”

Michelin inspectors were also impressed by Predalina’s blistered cauliflower, Streetlight Taco’s Sunday snack tostada, the dessert at The Pearl, Ebbe’s hyper-focused tasting menu, and the sea bream wrapped around sprouts with shaved black truffle at Kōsen.

Three Tampa restaurants—Lilac at Tampa Edition, Koya omakase and Tampa Heights Italian spot Rocca—earned the city’s first Michelin stars last May, while Bib Gourmands previously went to New Tampa Nepali restaurant Gorkhali Kitchen, perennial Seminole Heights favorite Rooster & the Till (which is in the midst of its 10th anniversary year), and SoHo Greek restaurant Psomi.
