As if SF wasn't already heavily overlooked for its luxury retail offerings, firmly placing it easily within the top 10 if not top 5, SF (if you include Napa Valley) has more 3* Michelin restaurants than anywhere else in the country with 6 over New York State's 5

I guess Tech is too dominant that people just think of Tech whenever they think of SF lol

To be fair, the vast majority of the country doesn't have a Michelin guide. The only competition are Florida, NYC, Chicago, DC, and the rest of California.

I'd be genuinely curious and not in a dismissive way at all to know what other metro regions/CSAs could have a shot at six 3* restaurants if NYC, rest of Cali or Florida don't. I'm not too familiar with the ultra high end dining scene across the country.

Not much. When it comes to fine dining, NYC and SF really are at the top.

This is a myth. Michelin stars are not restricted to high end or fine dining. San Francisco has an amazing culinary scene. But bragging about the number of Michelin star restaurants it has to illustrate or imply it's superiority over other cities or metros is misleading when most aren't evaluated by the organization. They don't even cover Las Vegas any more.

Apparently, it's a persistent and strong one: Michelin even came out with a special award called "Bib Gourmand" that recognizes restaurants that deliver outstanding value for the money for a three-course dinner for this reason. Yet those restaurants don't seem to get discussed much. (Wonder if there are any in the US, and what the price ceiling would be for a US restaurant to be considered? Edited to add: Just read the article you linked; it's $40, an amount I'd consider reasonable for a three-course meal.)
But I agree that the Guide Michelin's limited coverage of the US makes it less than ideal as a means of comparing the dining scenes of US cities, since many cities with great dining scenes — including the one I live in — don't have Michelin guides covering them. And I wonder what the Michelin reviewers would do with your typical BBQ joint. (Edited to add further: Well, if Michelin is handing out stars to street food stalls in Hong Kong, I guess I need not wonder.)

Well this is the very nature of this thread, exclusivity right?
Michelin guides arent everywhere just like Chanel and Cartier are not everywhere.
SF had its own guide that was an actual expansion choice by Michelin, not solicited by SF at all, even after LA and Vegas both had their guides cancelled for weak demand and only now the rest of the state is being combined with the SF guide and has been renamed the California guide, otherwise the SF guide by itself had more 3-star restaurants than NY which is pretty impressive, who knows if that will last.
Anyhow, Vancouver's first guide just came out a few weeks ago:
