At the end of 2024, the Copenhagen restaurant Noma will close its doors. Opened in 2003 by Danish chef Rene Redzepi, Noma put New Nordic cooking on the map and helped popularize hyper-local cuisine around the world. Noma has 3 Michelin stars and has been named World's Best Restaurant 5 times. Announcing the closure, Redzepi said it's impossible to make the math of fine dining work for his almost 100 employees and himself. Instead, Noma will transform into Noma Projects, a pioneering cooking lab that sells innovative food products like its already-sold-out smoked mushroom garum.

Philadelphia's Craig LaBan and Washington DC's Tom Sietsema are the latest critics to ditch ratings in their restaurant reviews. Why? "To be more useful to readers," says LaBan. How can 1-4 bells or stars apply equally to establishments as disparate as Vetri Cucina and Pat's Cheesesteaks? Eater's Ryan Sutton gave up restaurant ratings in 2021. Critics at the San Francisco Chronicle and Miami Herald gave them up even earlier. Who still uses them? The New York Times and the Boston Globe. And Michelin, of course. Can you imagine if Michelin abandoned its rating system? How would aspiring chefs reach for the stars?
