LaSalette, Hot Box New to Michelin's Bay Area Bib Gourmand

Several Sonoma Valley restaurants have been added to the Michelin Guide's 2012 Bib Gourmand, which highlights frugal dining options where several courses can be had for $40 and under.

New to this year's list, Hot Box Grill and LaSalette will join local favorite The Girl & the Fig, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.

North Bay representation is on the rise, according to the article:

There are 77 restaurants that made the cut, including 22 from the North Bay. That's up slightly from last year, when there were 74 Bib Gourmand awards given out, including 19 from the North Bay.

The updated list will be released Tuesday, Oct. 25.
