Zaget Screen

I’d joked a couple years ago “What do you call a comic who used to have lame roles but now is considered edgy … and can give reviews on restaurants?”

Answer: Bob Zagat.

I decided to create an App based on that idea. Given a restaurant name and location, it pulls the rating from Yelp.com. Based on that rating, it displays a clip from Saget’s telling of “The Aristocrats.” (nothing overboard). It also converts the Yelp star rating into an Olsen Twins equivalent. As per the Yelp developer requirements, it displays the # of reviews, with a link to same, as well as a Yelp logo and link directly to yelp.com. Plus, I changed the name to “Zaget” to further distant the service from Zagat’s. Here it is, awaiting the approval from the fine Yelp review board.

Until approval is granted, the # of requests is limited to 100 per day (total, from all users of the app).
