Yes on Nozawa





The latest Zagat Guide is out, and according to the Daily News, the overrated (at least, according to Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene Viribila) Sushi Nozawa earns top food marks.

To back the survey up, the paper talks to respected foodie... Jason Biggs?

"It's the freshest, most delicious sushi I've ever had — it would be my last meal request," the "American Pie" star tells the Daily News.

Viribila dismissed the sushi spot -- famed for the Soup Nazi-like actions of owner Kazunori Nozawa -- in a recent review. The sushi and the service, in particular, aren't worth the astronomic prices, she said.

Meanwhile, the Daily News also reports that Sherman Oaks' Cafe Bizou wins as "most popular restaurant in L.A."

Other Zagat findings, according to the paper: Los Angeles residents eat out an average 3.8 times a week, the highest in the nation. But on average, Angelenos were rated among the worst tippers, averaging 18.2 percent.

Though the average meal rose 1.9 percent to $30.17, 65 percent of Los Angeles food mavens report spending more when dining out, while 55 percent of all meals were eaten or prepared outside the home.


And as we all know now, thanks to the hefty product placement in last week's "The Apprentice," you pronounce it "Zuh-GAT," not "ZA-git."
