The so-called “burgundy bible” for restaurant hounds has taken on — gasp — fast food!
That’s right: Zagat on Monday peeled the wrapper off its latest Fast Food Survey. Respondents judged 103 chains nationwide on Zagat’s signature 30-point scale. (Take a minute to picture someone grading the ambience at a Taco Bell. In fact, it’s worth it to go to tr.im/nOSx to read the funny comments made by survey-takers.)
