Foodie time-waster

Take this Sporcle quiz and prove how many categories of cuisine you can name, as defined by the Zagat guide.

Discussion question: is Zagat still useful in the age of Yelp/food blogs/CHOW?

I got a little more than half of these. (There are two caviar restaurants in New York?) 



And no, I think Zagat is losing its clout in the foodie-blog age. Especially because their "entire" book is "full of" other people's "quotes." I find this to be "incredibly annoying."
