Michelin snubs London: Is the city losing its grip on the affordable food scene?

The Independent  

Notoriously covert, there’s something mischievous about the way Michelin operates. In my mind, there’s no question that restaurants like Borough’s addictive new Thai grill Kolae should have been recognised this year, but good value for money in London is evidently a very different thing from good value for money elsewhere in the UK.” Borough’s addictive new Thai grill Kolae should …
