The Michelin Guide has added 19 new restaurant additions in Florida, spread across Miami, Orlando and Tampa—now totaling 137 restaurants in the region. MICHELIN Guide Inspectors spend all year on the road uncovering the best restaurants to recommend, and in the latest 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida selection, nineteen new additions have been added in the Sunshine State, including 5 new restaurants in Orlando. From key lime pies to Cuban sandwiches, Florida's ever-growing list of MICHELIN Guide restaurants (137 if you're keeping count) is as diverse as they come. With this year's newest additions spread across Miami, Orlando, and Tampa that list has gotten even larger. This year, Miami saw the arrival of eight newcomers. Those that want a dinner-only spot should head on over to EntreNos, where Chefs Evan Burgess and Osmel Gonzalez serve up a contemporary à la carte menu sourced primary from Florida ingredients. Want finger foods instead? Then look towards Tam Tam, where wings glossed in fish sauce caramel await. Fans of Japanese cuisine in Orlando are in luck, too. Zaru offers an upbeat playlist along with plates of chewy noodles, while Sushi Saint and Natsu focus on temaki and an intimate omakase experience respectively. Tampa, on the other hand, saw an influx of more casual spots like the sandwiches at Supernatural Food & Wine, house-made pastas at Predalina, and tacos at Streetlight Taco. Last, but certainly not least, is Chuan Fu at Winter Park. Expect a large Szechuan menu filled with classics that bring the heat with every dish. These restaurants have the possibility of receiving Stars or Bib Gourmands in the upcoming Michelin Guide Ceremony, which will be held in Tampa, on April 18, 2024. Below, get the scoop on all the latest Orlando additions to the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida selection. Zaru Cuisine: Japanese This sleek, Mills 50 eatery is located in the same strip as the Tien Hung Market. With an upbeat playlist and an attractive dining room, the restaurant specializes in chewy noodles made from wheat sourced from Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture. Ikura, tempura and top-notch ingredients like Hokkaido uni and A5 Kagoshima wagyu pair with broths of wonderful smokiness and depth. Sushi Saint Cuisine: Japanese Mike Collantes, Chef/owner of Soseki, has another hit on his hands with Sushi Saint. This downtown temaki spot lures guests with its lounge-y vibe and contemporary design. The team takes great care in sourcing high-quality rice and nori for their cone-shaped temaki, and while the hand rolls take center stage, their small plates, like Sichuan cucumbers with chili crunch, are worth trying. Natsu Cuisine: Japanese There are just two seatings a night at this intimate omakase, where a ten-seat counter dominates a spartan-styled room. Meals begin with four dishes from the kitchen, including chawanmushi and truffle kampachi, served with crispy potato straws and a yuzu truffle vinaigrette for an unexpected flavor combination that is especially memorable. The sushi is impressive and doesn't gild the lily. Camille Cuisine: Vietnamese Chef Tung Phan has taken the pop-up and given it permanence at this space just off Lake Baldwin. Rooted in French techniques, Vietnamese flavors are given a refined twist here. Salmon over king trumpet noodles in a tamarind and pineapple sauce is creative, but the best may be saved for last. The sweet potato brioche topped with a "gold" chocolate ice cream and Vietnamese coffee sauce is an elegant finale. Chris Abeleda Chuan Fu Cuisine: Chinese The large Szechuan menu features many of the classics served in a traditional family-style manner, and the solid cooking shows its skill with layered flavors and bold takes. First, tuck into the cucumber salad, with its punch of soy and garlic, before settling into the Chongqing chicken with its chili and peanut garnish.

Ready for a truly magical live show experience? The hilarious Michael Carbonaro will be bringing his fantastical illusions to The Plaza Live in May. Michael Carbonaro is returning to The Plaza Live on Saturday May 18! Tickets are on sale now. Known for his original hidden camera magic series, THE CARBONARO EFFECT on truTV, Michael Carbonaro has been seen on television in shows such as Happily Divorced, 30 Rock, Grey’s Anatomy, and CSI Miami. A performing magician since his youth, Carbonaro went on to study experimental theater at New York University with the aspirations of entertaining audiences through a variety of theatrical mediums, including hidden-camera magic, which he later showcased frequently on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Carbonaro’s late night appearances then launched him into stardom through his hit comedic series, “The Carbonaro Effect,” on truTV.  A trickster at heart, Michael performs inventive tricks on unsuspecting members of the public who are unaware that he is a magician. Jaws drop when he causes a car to disappear from under a security guard’s nose or makes alien crabs transform into kittens in a science lab.  Whether posing as a coffee shop barista, museum curator, or seemingly unremarkable store clerk in the REAL world, Carbonaro's illusions – along with his absurd, matter-of-fact explanations – leave REAL people bewildered and families at home laughing out loud. Michael regularly showcases his bizarre antics and mind-blowing magic at corporate events and through his highly-acclaimed national theater tour, “Michael Carbonaro Live!” Michael’s extensive list of accolades includes the “OUTFEST Best Actor” award as well as the “Magician of the Year” honor, bestowed upon him by the Academy of Magical Arts in 2015.  In 2016, he was the inaugural recipient of the Copperfield Prize which recognizes an individual for elevating the art of magic.

GeorgeFest, in the heart of Downtown Eustis, will feature a parade carnival, live music, food, vendors, fireworks and much more! Happy Birthday George! The City of Eustis celebrates George Washington’s Birthday during a week long, family-friendly event taking place February 17-24, 2024 in historic downtown Eustis.

Headline Entertainment Bryce Mauldin is from Webster, FL. He raced amateur motocross his whole life, racing at a nationals level until he fell in love with music. He first got involved with music in February of  2016 and introduced his voice to social media shortly after. His first video received positive responses online and he continued to post more videos, growing a larger audience and fans. After a year of posting, his first cover of "I can love you like that" went viral, reaching over 9.1 million views and over 230K shares so far. He has now moved to Nashville, TN where he writes music daily. Last year, Bryce released his first independent single "All the Proof I Need" and this year dropped his self-titled EP. Soaring vocals meet dextrous, layered guitar and intimate storytelling that can evoke the poetic lyricism of Passenger in one song before sliding into the wrenching neo-soul of Leon Bridges in the next.  Thunderstorm Artis was born and raised in a large musical family on the North Shore of Oahu, and it’s easy to find the laid-back vibe of island life effortlessly blended with the real life experiences that inspire his music. As a Season 18 finalist on The Voice, Artis wowed audiences with both his original compositions, including quiet acoustic track “Sedona,” and loving reinterpretations of songs by artists like The Beatles and Louis Armstrong, with John Legend describing his tone as “magical” and Billboard praising his “earnest, uplifting presence.” Artis has played alongside modern icons Jack Johnson, Train, and The Zac Brown Band, as well as toured extensively with his brother, Ron Artis II. He also was a featured artist at Bottlerock Music Festival. Tracy Byrd became a household name on the country music scene in 1993 when his song "Holdin' Heaven" off his self-titled debut album hit #1 on the Billboard Country Charts. The Album also included the remake hit of Johnny Paycheck's "Someone to Give my Love to", cementing Byrd as a traditional country troubadour! The debut album went on to be certified Gold, an award signifying sales in excess of 500,000 copies. Byrd's 2nd project, No Ordinary Man, kept building on the momentum of his first album, with the release of the smash, chart-topping hit "Watermelon Crawl", quickly certifying the album Gold. "The Keeper of the Stars" shot to #1 on the singles charts and pushed the album to Double Platinum Status (sold of over 2 Million Copies) and later won the Academy of Country Music "Song of the Year" award in 1995. Drake White grew up singing in his church’s youth choir in Alabama before becoming one of Country music’s most spirited innovators, earning four Top 40 hits and traveling the country on multiple nationwide tours. His 2013 debut single “Simple Life” introduced his brand of Country Soul, which he cemented with his 2016 debut album SPARK followed by the EPs Pieces and Stars. White has received numerous accolades including Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know, The Grammy’s Artist of Tomorrow, and the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year and has shared the bill with many of Country music’s superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band. Georgefest is the longest running celebration of George Washington’s Birthday in the State of Florida, and is now the longest, continuously running celebration in the entire United States. It all started on February 22, 1902 when Eustis citizens and businesses held an event in the Ocklawaha Hotel (a hotel that was located in Downtown Eustis) in appreciation of the winter visitors. The celebration portrayed historic events from Florida's past. February 22 is also the date of when George Washington, the first president of the United States, was born. Taking that into consideration, they started calling the event, "George Washington's Birthday Celebration." Over the years, this event has since grown to include a large parade, concerts, a carnival, fireworks, and more and features a new modern name, "Georgefest." The annual Georgefest Parade is a longstanding tradition in Lake County and one of the largest parades in Central Florida.
