Couldn't agree more ,and it would only be fair if the same group of inspectors jugded every restaurant worldwide (i know this is probley humanly impossible!!)I just dont understand though how a restaurant in japan can go straight in the guide with 3* ,and some restaurants here have been trying years and years to get 2*/3*

Has anybody eaten here lately? If so what did you think.....

No, yes, yes, no. Really? You're basing that on The Lecture Room, rather than the ground-floor disco-teria, right? TLR is ridiculous and awful in many, many ways, but the food tends at least to be interesting and proficiently executed. There are plenty of other starred places I'd chop before TLR@S. As for the London-centric argument: give over. It's where most of us live, and there are more than 50 Mich stars worthy of discussion within a two-zone travelcard of our tiny, overpriced flats. Of course the argument will gravitate towards the capital. Plus, it's an unspoken truth that anyone under 65 who doesn't live in London has, in some fundamental way, failed. (runs) (Edited for tonal clarity.) ← Had 8 courses of rubbish at the lecture room ,arrogant french service and a massive hole left in my pocket.And as to being a failure tell that to Blumenthal,Blanc,Everitt-Matthias....etc as all of them are under 65 and don't live in London

Devonshire arms 0* Sketch 0* Danesfield house 1* Clivedon 0* Wintringham fields 0* Waterside 1* (This in my opinion is what it should be)

Do you mean like Antony's in Leeds?

Thats acceptable adey,its just i was recommened to eat there last year by a fellow chef /friend who thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.So I gave it a try in september and had a stunning 15 course meal for £70,theres not many places in britain that you can try so many different foods,flavours,techniques etc for the same price(especially London Tim!!).It was a real eye opener.

The fawning, sycophantic text is from one of the Times journalists. It does bear resemblences to 'White Heat' and Keller's French Laundry Cookbook. But I think that it is his most interesting book in years and does actually show why he got 3 stars. You wouldn't even think the same chef was behind the F Word book. ← It's just a big ego trip!!

Do you know what your talking about??

Good evening! I know its fun to predict stars being given out from michelin ,but London isn't the whole of Great Britain !!! I as a chef ate in the capital last week and had 1 awful meal and one average one at restaurants that have been mentioned in numerious different posts above.What i'm trying to say is that alot of v interesting and ambitious food is cooked outside of the capital,and those restaurants should be given praise and credit! London london london how boring yawn!!
