Zagat was before the Internet

Zagat is now the equivalent of a hard copy phone book

Equating Zagat to a phone book is about right. And LOL at people who let a service tell them what good food is supposed to taste like.

Say what you want about Houston, but if you think Dallas has better Mexican food than Houston youre an idiot.

i've found zagat to be pretty useful since Google bought them and rolled the reviews into google maps

somehow i think this article may just be doing a **** job of interpreting what they are finding in zagat

i just can't imagine how freaking Irma's came out on top in Houston.

why do some people get so bent over a restaurant? it's a city of 4 million and they could only name one. do you think THAT many people are going to agree?
