On Nov. 14, the Michelin Guide will announce which restaurants made their 2013 Chicago guide, revealing which restaurants were promoted, demoted and removed entirely. The guide always offers a few surprises and head scratchers, gives chefs another excuse to party, and inevitably leads to a debate about how influential the guide really is in the States.

Anyway, today the folks at Michelin announce the inclusions in the far-less exclusive and noteworthy category of Bib Gourmand. These are restaurants the guide highlights for excellence on a budget (defined as two courses and wine or dessert for $40 a head), including a number of places from last year like Girl & The Goat, Ceres' Table, Twin Anchors and Nightwood. This year's list includes 19 new spots including Ada St., Au Cheval, Lao Hunan, Pump Room and Untitled. But it also sees some spots dropping off.

Surprisingly off the list: Lula Cafe, Mexique and Perennial Virant. Is it possible they're getting stars? Or do they not fit the $40-a-head criteria? All in all, 11 restaurants fell off the Bib Gourmand list, including Arami, Fogon, Hopleaf, La Creperie, Thai Village, m. henry, Mundial Cocina Mestiza and Taste of Peru. Definitely some surprises.

This year, there are 64 inclusions (last year had 56) with 22 types of cuisine listed (one more than last year), all listed below.
