What is the Michelin Man’s name?

Restaurants covet receiving Michelin awards. But they are not just for upscale restaurants. Three Philly cheesesteak spots recently received Bib Gourmand awards, a category for casual restaurants: the venerable Dalessandro’s Steaks & Hoagies and two well-regarded upstarts, Del Rossi’s Cheesesteak Co. and Angelo’s Pizzeria. The Bib Gourmand rating is named for the Michelin company’s puffy mascot, Bibendum, also known as the Michelin tire man. Bibendum in ersatz Latin for “eats up the road.”
