Winners and losers of Michelin's cuisine, from the restaurateur who was kicked out of school to the tiny village with FOUR actors - as the exclusive Fitzrovia restaurant Hakkasan loses its star after 20 years

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 6, 2024
Chef Aktar Islam (pictured), 43, of Aston, Birmingham, began his restaurant career at the age of 13 after being kicked out of school 31 years ago. The restaurant was one of six restaurants to be nominated for a coveted second star in Manchester on Monday after being named for its first Michelin star in 2019. Mr Islam described the award of a second star as "an honor," adding: "It just goes to show what this industry can do for someone with no prospects, and here I am." On Monday, six UK restaurants were given two stars at a Michelin Guide dinner in Manchester. Aktar's restaurant, which he opened on Summer Row in 2018, is described as 'progressive Indian cuisine.' In October 2019, the first Michelin star was announced for the first time.
