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.
For nearly 100 years, The Michelin Guide has awarded restaurants with one, two, and three stars. The three star accolade being considered the most prestigious for "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey". In 2006, Michelin expanded its Guide to outside of Europe, with its publication of the New York City edition of the Guide. Today, the Michelin Guide publishes Guide’s across 41 countries, awarding over 3,000 restaurants with Michelin stars and only 139 restaurants earning the highly coveted three star award.
With the help of renowned food critic and freelance writer, Andy Hayler, we compiled the number of three star restaurants by country since 2007. Historically, France has held the top spot with the most three star awards, however, once countries outside of Europe were reviewed, Japan quickly soared as the world’s leader by 2011. Since then, France and Japan have gone back and forth as the leading country.
Notes:
Michelin began reviewing countries outside of Europe in 2006, however, due to data not being readily available, this visualization starts at 2007
The Michelin Guide for California was canceled in 2021 due to the pandemic. This resulted in the USA's count to drastically decrease for that year.
The 2022 World Cup officially starts today. Qatar has undergone criticism and controversy surrounding several different reported totals of migrant worker deaths since being awarded host nation. Data related Qatar's work-related deaths have been debated and analyzed for accuracy by several organizations. Our analysis takes a look at Qatar's official Planning and Statistics Authority of migrant deaths totals (not necessarily related to the World Cup) in relation to the duration of time taken to construct or renovate the eight stadiums hosting the World Cup matches.
Key Takeaways:
Qatari migrant deaths are not necessarily related to World Cup stadium construction, however the average has increased since the start of construction in 2014
This analysis only looks at the time stadiums were constructed (2014-2021), several other city infrastructures and facilities ere also developed specific for the World Cup events as of 2010
There is currently no data on migrant deaths for 2021, however 2020 was the final year of stadium construction and also had the peak number of migrant deaths.

A similar visualization of just US cities would be interesting. We will take a look. Thanks for the idea!
