Turns out the just-published post-Katrina New Orleans edition isn’t the only news in Zagatland. We’ve received a tip that the company’s president and former COO resigned earlier today. Director of Communications Mark Kornblau confirms: “Ted Zagat will be leaving the company sometime in 2007. He has worked for Zagat for seven years officially and a lifetime unofficially and has decided to branch out and try new things.” No word on what those other things are. The son of Tim and Nina, who graduated from Harvard Business School in 2004 and was described as a “boyish prince” when he took a Times reporter on one of his club crawls, joined Zagat to (in the quotation-centric parlance of the guide) “spearhead the launch of its nightlife guides” and eventually “moved his way up the company ladder” before “calling it a day.” — Daniel Maurer
