It would be interesting to see the same for 1 and 2 star restaurants. Michelin have been handing out stars like candy in Asia to bolster their own relevance there.

In the old school world of gastronomy, it would take years if not a decade or more to get 3 stars in France or UK. These days it's not unheard of for a restaurant in Singapore or Japan to open with 2 stars in the first year. Understandable why Michelin do this but is also cheapens the ratings. I'd still trust the Michelin guide in Europe, but not in Asia.

Agree that Michelin has brought down the value of the one and two star rating by awarding so many restaurants. Originally we wanted to include the one and two star restaurant counts but the data was difficult to find. We worked closely with Andy Hayler, who is a Michelin historian and he may have enough data to do a future visualization to include and one/two star restaurants.
