Awards Michelin Guide 2008 "I never thought Michelin would be coming to L.A.," says Mélisse chef-owner Josiah Citrin, who received one of the only three two-star ratings. "Of course, I am very happy about two stars. This isn't just L.A. two stars; this is two stars across the world. Americans might not know how hard it is to have even one star and how few they are."
