Armchair Critics

Zagat Wants Your Witty Quotes

Zagat is on the hunt for some clever local foodinistas who’d like to talk about how “trendy but warm” their favorite restaurant is with its “relaxed but attentive” service and “funky vintage dishware.” They’ve just put up this online survey, and if they deem your armchair criticism witty enough for inclusion in the upcoming Bay Area guide, you’ll receive a free copy all your very own, and be able to brag to all your friends about how you were quoted. Sidebar: We’d like to take this opportunity, since we haven’t before, to point you to one of our favorite New Yorker bits of all time, “The Zagat History of My Last Relationship,” by filmmaker/scribe Noah Baumbach. Let that serve as a primer.
