As for the awards; An American giving food awards to Americans?
There is a saying in the UK: "Self praise is no recomendation"
The example of the Beard award was to point out quality resturants in America. I don't expect a British or Canadian award to come to America to pick out the top America places, but the Michelin award is international and very prestigious.

Can you please tell us what fine establishments you dined during your visit to the states? I really hope it was more than Applebee's and TGIFridays.

So When a UK food award people lists top UK resturants we should ignore it since "Self praise is no recomendation".....

btw, the Michelin guide is from France
