Las Vegas Foodie Reclaims Michelin Record

0:00On March 30th, a Las Vegas foodie named Joshua Fikesin just reclaimed his Guinness World record for hitting the most Michelin star restaurants in. 24 hours. On May 9th and 10th in 2025, he knocked out 28 spots in New York City, topping the previous mark of 25 set. By two guys in Hong Kong, China, back in 2024, Fikesin first grabbed the title in 2023 with 22 restaurants in the same city. When those Hong Kong record holders snatched it away, he got competitive and geared up to take it back, diving deep into the Michelin guy to plot his route. As a sommelier at Peter Luger's Steakhouse in Caesar's Palace, he knows fine dining inside out. He stuck with New York for its familiarity over spots like London or Paris, emailing restaurants for special slots and hunting walk-ins at places with long tasting menus. He battled a massive downpour before one key stop, arriving soaked but still scoring small bites and a welcome drink.

1:01Some spots even opened early just for him, and his top pick was a Jonah crab salad with Apple and Wasabi at La Pavillon. Fikesin wrapped it up a Grammarcy tavern with an oyster and champagne, totaling $1,451.34. $176.97 on food and tips, plus $474.37 on rides. Dudes back on top, proving hunger for glory pays off.
