The claim
There are more than four times as many Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK as in the US when counting per capita.
Original publisher’s rating
While it is accurate to say that the UK has around four times more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita as the US, it is misleading to compare Nottingham to 43 US states. This is because Michelin only awards stars in eight US states, it does not assess any restaurants outside those states.
