Let Your Voice Be Heard: Vote in Zagat's Philadelphia Restaurant Survey

Did you ever imagine yourself getting paid to be a food critic? Most of us have at one point. (We bet that food critic is on your dream job wish list right below travel writer.) Surely most of us will never reach Craig LaBan status, but here's a way that we can all rate our favorite restaurants and receive something in return. Zagat's is calling for reviews of Philadelphia area restaurants in their online survey. They are offering a free copy of the resulting Philadelphia Restaurants guide book to all participants in the survey. The only catch is that you have to create a login for their site, and will most certainly be bombarded with emails in the future, but that's nothing unusual. Once you sign into the Philadelphia Restaurants survey, you will be asked to rate the restaurants, which are listed by neighborhood. Or you can just dive right into the full list comprised of restaurants in the city and also many suburban spots. Warning: if you dine out as often as Phillyist, this survey might be a little bit of a time suck. But instead of mindlessly searching the internet for celebrity gossip during your next lunch break, devote twenty minutes or so to this task. We think that the payoff of a free guide is worth it. Even if you don't have time to complete the whole survey in one sitting, you have until March 23, 2008 to submit your votes. So get voting and get your free book!

P.S. Once you are able to plough through the list of eateries, stick around on the Zagat's Survey page to participate in the Philadelphia Shopping Survey for a shot at winning a $500 shopping spree.
