Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.

If it rhymes with "kill the cat" should it be pronounced "zillthecat?" Cuz....otherwise, only the "at" part is similar.
An excellent point, but now you'll never say ZAGat or ZaGAHT again, will you?

Great article I thought. BTW is authentic Chinese (which just means region specific, homegrown, family made) in that list of what's hot/passe etc? That's interesting since there is also a move to eat more local grown/raised foods. Who would have thought that the invasive Asian snakehead in the local waters such as the Potomac will soon enough propel the revolution in our palates - it's the best of both ideas above, I think :)
Eric, don't stir me up with the What's Hot list. You'll only regret it. :-)
