How does everyone stack up?

Seeing that the Michelin hysteria has slightly subsided, it’s probably time for us to stop and actually see how the guide stacks up to other critics. Luckily someone actually did the hard work for us. Tammy Green from Chicago Bites (who has also taken some great pictures for us), put together this spreadsheet comparing the Michelin Guide to Zagat, Urban Spoon, Metromix, and Yelp. The mix of official critics and public sites makes for some very interesting comparisons. Honestly, Schwa comes out looking the best here, with 1 Michelin Star, 4.5 stars from Yelp, 3.7 from Metromix, a 91% rating from Urban Spoon, and a 29 from Zagat. Who said people only care about service? [Chicago Bites via Gapers Block]
