Zaggga zagga Dooooo It!

Now I am in a stealing mood and this time I intend to steal a business idea! You know how people say never to re-invent the wheel, well, I am sure many of you, (3 people reading my blog), have come across a company, especially in the US named Zagat. If not too bad for you! www.zagat.com

This is a great company offering scores for restaurants, hotels etc. based on 4 main criteria. (food, décor, service, cost). Here you have the a questions they use, including the open comment box. The rating is based on the people who have visited the restaurant in the last year (!). And if you don’t find the venue on their extensive list, then you can easily introduce a venue and rate it yourself.

Needless to say that I have some ideas how this process can be more efficient…
However, respect for Zagat, when I was in New York the Zagat Restaurants, Hotels, Bars etc were all more read than all my books.. (put together). I remember one night we wanted something new and we decided to go to a Cuban restaurant. Simply we looked up for the best Cuban and went there. And it really was great! So, who would be interested in scoring restaurants, dentists, heath practitioners, bars, (they go hand in hand)? Spread the roomer and see if we can make it fly.

And come on, say something!!! Bucharest, Stockholm, Paris, wherever you are!

  1. I don’t know about Zagat and their rating criteria, but I would definitely go to ANY Cuban restaurant…only that here in Bucharest you have absolutely no chance to find any however long you may be looking for one (anyway, there is really little chance to come across anything South American or Caribbean except maybe for some salsa lessons and the eternal group of Peruvians playing in different parks and metro stations).
    Well, however small the probability of finding one, I said I would definitely go to ANY Cuban restaurant for no other reason than curiosity: what does Cuban food taste like? Incidentally, I have been to Cuba…I was there three weeks in 2005 and I remember nothing but eggs! Travelling around the country and sleeping in different casa particular, every day I got two eggs in the morning and some sort of been, boiled rice and potatoes (hardly some fish or chicken next to it) in the evening. Of course, I couldn’t help noticing that the fish or chicken part was most of the time missing from the Cuban people’s menu. So that’s why, I was wondering about the real Cuban cuisine…anyway, would be kind of interesting to discover.
