Zagat launches a Toronto-centric online restaurant guide

Earlier this year, American mega-blog Eater stretched its cyber-tentacles northward to take on the Toronto dining scene. Now U.S. resto-rating site Zagat, which was acquired by Google in 2011, has followed suit. Zagat Toronto kicked off its inaugural week with a batch of foodie roundups penned by Spotlight Toronto publisher and Toronto food truck champion Suresh Doss, who has signed on as the site’s house food writer and general culinary expert. The content is so far limited to brick-and-mortar restaurants; however, given Doss’s resume, it’s probably safe to assume the city’s roaming restaurants will get their share of attention.
