Wafels & Dinges and Street Sweets Tops in New Zagat
The 2011 Michelin and Zagat guides hit news stands today… and while neither are particularly Midtown Lunch friendly, the 2011 Zagat guide has included food trucks for the first time ever this year! According to the survey, 26% of people who filled in the quiz reported eating from gourmet food trucks at least occasionally, while 9% say they would never. (What? Who are these people!?) 11% of surveyors reported they follow food trucks on social networking sites like Twitter. (I wonder if that includes the ML Twitter Tracker!) So… who made it into the book?
Drum roll please…

Maybe a bit heavy on the dessert side. And I do wonder if Street Sweets’ parking spot one block away from the Zagat office may have skewed the sampling… but that’s just speculation! You can click on the individual names to read the comments about each truck on the Zagat website.

Design of the truck? lol

And this is why I don’t read Zagat anymore…Rickshaw got a 19 for food.
-
give that ornery couple credit for doing anything to try to stay relevant…
bet you get a cease & desist notice from their lawyer before 5pm
-
I’m more appalled by the people that read Zagat than the people who would never eat at a food truck…
-
how in god’s name can you rack up a $6 bill at the Treats Truck?? My orders are usually in the $3 range! for multiple items!
-
$3 for the treats, $3 commission to Tim & Nina for their magnanimity for mentioning the truck
somebody clock her in the head with a pre-seasoned Lodge dutch oven already
-
I hope that was directed at the Zagats, and not at me, Wayne! (though I would like a cast iron dutch oven… just not to the noggin please)
-
Sarah, you know I loooove your head…
No, it’s directed toward that rabid free-loading whining lawyer Nina Zagat
-
-
I easily bought over $10 at Treats Truck in one visit. Their specialty brownies are already $3 alone. Haha.

Those of you who doesn’t like Zagat, what are some of the reasons? What media source(other than our midtownlunch.com or course) do you think is the most reliable? I am just curious.

Pretty surprised Kwik Meal didn’t make the cut….
How the heck does a food truck get judged on ‘decor’?
