No third star this year again, it does seem bizarre that they didn't get it. I do wonder if it's because of all the hype surrounding the place. Twitter has gone mad......

LOL....."René Redzepi has formerly worked at the restaurants such as The French Laundry, El Bulli, Kong Hans Kælder and Le Jardin des Sens."

Good grief that's a resume for that type of food.

Certainly Michelin have a history of this in the UK. Marcus Wareing is perhaps the best example, though Tom Aikens is also of note. Both 5 star AA rosette and high-end GFG scores, yet MW was a single star for years, and Aikens - putting his more recent troubles to one side - never got elevated even. Basically, all the other guides jumped in ahead of Michelin and it would appear they kinda threw their toys out the pram as a result.
