Byline: PAUL MUNRO
The Michelin Guide,published
next Friday,is supposed to offer travellers an
independent assessmen to top restaurants.But,asks Paul Mungo,why is it so dismissive of British restaurants?

As the gastronomic bible of the welltravelled middle classes, it can make or break a chef's reputation.
In France, restaurateurs have gone bankrupt and chefs have commited suicide trying to win an extra star. So next Friday, when the new Guide to Britain is published, there will be a hoo-ha about who is in and who is out.
