Mike Shipley still remembers seeing the email in his business inbox from the Michelin Guide the first week in October. Shipley, like many others, associated the Michelin Guide with restaurants. Wondering why the organization emailed his business, he opened it.
The email notified Shipley that his Breckenridge-based establishment had been awarded a Michelin Star.
“Apparently they sent a secret inspector to come out to us and then they sent another inspector to check that we had consistency rather than just being a one-off,” Shipley said. “It was a total shock to us, we did not have a clue.”
Many are familiar with Michelin’s Red Guide, which is reserved for restaurants, but Breckenridge’s Country Boy Mine received a Michelin Star from the Green Guide, which is specifically for attractions.
The Michelin Guide made its debut in Colorado in 2023 and five restaurants across the state were awarded one star. The star received by Country Boy Mine is the first in Summit County for either of the guides.
