New York, NY. August 16, 2010 – Looking to supersize yourself? This morning, Zagat revealed the results of its latest survey, covering 97 major fast food chains and 39 full service chains as voted on by 6,518 ZAGAT.com diners who ate at chain outlets on average 10.7 times per month. The survey respondents weighed in on everything from chicken and cheeseburgers to smoothies and seafood, separately rating each chain on the quality of its Food, Facilities and Service using Zagat’s signature 30-point scale. A selection of the winners was announced live on The Today Show this morning.
“It’s virtually impossible to live anywhere in America without having a fast food chain outlet in the neighborhood. We know that these chains play an important role in feeding our population. That’s the reason why we undertook this survey and why we believe the results are so important,” said Tim Zagat, CEO of Zagat Survey.
