At the end of the year, Jean-Luc Naret will retire from his current position as the director of Michelin guides. During his time with Michelin he stretched the restaurant guide's coverage all the way to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macao, Kyoto, and Osaka, San Francisco, and soon, Chicago (coming out this November). This year's NYC edition was met with some controversy as Del Posto was only awarded 1 star by Michelin yet earned 4 stars from the New York Times.
He will remain a consultant for Michelin.
