In 2024, Texas will finally have a Michelin Guide, and Houston will be included. The Michelin company, the international restaurant star rating system run by the French tire company, announced on Tuesday, July 16, that Texas would be granted the Michelin Guide Texas in 2024, according to a release. Eater Austin reports that the guide is set to be one of the largest inaugural statewide guides in the country, and anonymous inspectors — full-time Michelin employees — are reportedly already on the ground in Houston, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, and San Antonio to make the initial restaurant selections that will kick off the Texas edition. The newly-starred restaurants will be announced later this year at the 2024 Texas Michelin Guide ceremony.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Sandy Paws Resuce Inc., a foster-based animal rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced Miracle, a pit bull terrier who is approximately one year old, and is now looking for her forever home. According to the nonprofit rescue organization, “Miracle was dumped at a lake in Texas and rescued by a good samaritan who has been fostering her since.” This compassionate individual provided Miracle with a temporary home and the love she desperately needed. However, her foster parent recognizes that Miracle deserves even more. “While her foster hates to let her go, she knows there is a better life for Miracle in MA,” Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. noted.

A year ago, I detailed how Hell’s Kitchen along Ninth Avenue had accumulated 15 Chinese restaurants representing several regional cuisines — a new Chinatown. The same thing has been happening lately on the Upper West Side, extending into Morningside Heights along the upper reaches of Broadway. The stretch runs from 98th Street to 113th Street, supporting dumpling dens, hot pot shops, bubble tea parlors, and sit-down restaurants that are destination-worthy from any part of town.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
