As of the very end of 2016, there were 159 Michelin-starred restaurants across America. Orbitz set out to make all foodies' dreams come true by mapping out the most efficient route to take to dine at every single one of them. Check out the map they created above.

According to Dr. Randal S Olson's optimization algorithm, the shortest rote to take encompasses 3,426 miles. Beginning at American restaurant Commis in Oakland and ending at Hirohisa, a Japanese eatery in New York, the path stretches from one coast to the other. 

According to the study, the longest distance between stops is a 2,111-mile drive between Bouchon in Yountville, California (two stars) and El Ideas in Chicago, Illinois (one star). 

Oh, and according to the calculations, if one were to eat at a different restaurant every night, the entire trip would take about five full months. We'll start racking up our vacation days right about... now.
