Star city
Heartiest congratulations to Purnells and Turners for their new Michelin stars and to Simpsons for retaining theirs.
I fully expected Purnells and Simpsons to be recognised, but Turners took me by surprise, I must admit.
Not because I have anything but the greatest admiration for Richard Turner's classy food, but because I thought Michelin might shrink from awarding a star to a small, suburban restaurant.
Shows how much I know.
But let's bask in the glory of knowing that Birmingham now has three restaurants with stars while poor old Manchester has none.
Still, all those Man United fans needn't worry - there are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants back in their home town of London.
