"When I'm Wrong I Say I'm Wrong"

Posted by Ed Levine, October 16, 2006

In the movie "Dirty Dancing" there's a great moment when Jerry Orbach,

"Baby's" (Jennifer Gray) father, apologizes to Patrick Swayze for falsely accusing him of impregnating an old girlfriend. Orbach says to Swayze:

"When I'm wrong I say I'm wrong." In an effort to emulate Orbach I say this to Tim Zagat: When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. A Serious Eats reader who worked for Tim and Nina informed me that "while I can say many disparaging things about Zagat, but I'll tell you this: Tim takes those ratings as serious as a heart attack." There are indeed many things to take issue with regarding the Zagat ratings, but apparently my charge on Friday isn't one of them. I stand corrected.
