Zagat released the results of its latest Texas Restaurants survey today, with detailed local information, ratings and reviews at www.ZAGAT.com, on its award winning mobile site ZAGAT.mobi, and ZAGAT TO GO(SM) for iPhone, Android and smartphones. The exclusively-digital results include coverage of 1,818 restaurants in Austin/Hill Country, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. Each restaurant was visited an average of 490 times in the past year.

Plugged-In: When online surveyors were asked how they choose to make their reservations, 23% said they make reservations via the Internet – up from only 11% two years ago.

Economics: When asked what effects the weak economy has had on their dining-out habits, surveyors report being more attentive to prices (35%), eating out less (32%), eating at less expensive places (26%), skipping appetizers and/or desserts (19%), and cutting back on alcohol (17%). Meal cost inflations is higher than ever before: Austin (7.5%), Houston (5.9%) and San Antonio (7.3%). Compared to two years ago, 37% of surveyors report spending more when dining out vs. 18% who said less. However, Texas remains a relative bargain as the average cost of a meal in all four major Texas markets ranks below the national average of $35.10, especially in Houston ($32.53), San Antonio ($31.34) and Austin ($30.76). Dallas/Ft. Worth, the most expensive dining area ($35.03) had the lowest inflation rate (0.6%). When asked what positive effects the economic downturn has had on their dining habits, 49% of surveyors report finding better deals at restaurants, while 34% say that it's easier for them to get a table at hard-to-get-in places.

Dining Out Less: Confirming the above results, Houstonians say that they are dining out less than they did two years ago - 4.0 times per week down from 4.2 in 2008. Close behind are Dallas at 3.6 (down from 4.0) and San Antonio at 3.5 (down from 4.0). Still, Texas diners eat out more often than anywhere else in the U.S. – for example, Los Angeles (3.4) and New York City (3.0). The Zagat national average is 3.2 meals out per week.

Winners: This year's Top winners in each city are as follows:

With the aging American population on the rise, many nutritionists and physicians are looking for proactive ways to help patients maintain a healthy lifestyle. Little Rock based HealthSpan Solutions, LLC, had the same idea in mind ten years ago when they began research on healthy aging.

"We were looking to fill the gap in the nutrition beverage market," president and CEO of HealthSpan Solutions John Troup said. "Many nutritional drinks were either lacking in the taste department or did not provide a balanced solution to help the aging demographic. We combined both of these needs to form BeneVia® (pronounced "ben-uh-VEE-uh")."

The therapeutic nutritional fruit based beverage is the first advancement in adult nutrition in 20 years that targets and effectively manages four major health conditions with specific nutrient formulas. The products combine essential ingredients that are designed to help with memory, strength, heart health and immunity, and supplies essential nutrients that promote healthy aging, including vitamins, Omega 3 and six to eight grams of protein.

The proprietary protein blend, called ViaLeuPro™, is four times more effective than other protein supplements according to clinical studies*, and consists of protein, leucine, essential amino acids and key vitamins and minerals. BeneVia® is fat free, has minimal carbohydrates and approximately half the calories of other beverages in the adult nutrition category.

A naturally flavored fruit juice drink, BeneVia® is available in four flavors: pineapple lulo, peach mango, pomegranate blueberry and cranberry lemon. A four pack of BeneVia® retails for $8.99 and is available online at Walgreens.com, Target.com and Amazon.com. It can also be found on shelves at Kroger, Rite Aid, Wegman's, Walgreens, Publix and several other drug and grocery stores nationwide. 

About BeneVia®

BeneVia® was created by a consumer-driven healthcare company, HealthSpan Solutions, after five years of independent research focusing nutritional solutions to help improve overall health. The four flavors contain nutrients which have been clinically tested and may aid in managing common health concerns faced by the baby boomer generation.

For the first time in its history, the International Chili Society, which has been crowning chili champions since 1967, is conducting a formal open bid process to bring together the world's Chiliheads for the World's Championship Chili Cookoff.

According to Carol Hancock, chief executive officer of ICS, past host cities of the ICS World's Championship Chili Cookoff have seen economic impacts of approximately $1.5 million from the three-day event. More than 400 cooks and judges, including their families, will descend upon the host city during the event, providing a direct impact of hundreds of thousands of dollars to a local community. In the past 10 years, attendance for the Championship weekend has ranged between 10,000 and 50,000 Chiliheads (the adopted name of chili enthusiasts).

"This request for proposal is a prime opportunity for a community that is looking for a way to gain national attention and increase tourism dollars," said Hancock. "Chiliheads are remarkably faithful, and will travel great lengths to compete in the World's Championship Chili Cookoff. Rotating the event allows us to introduce competitive chili to many locations. We are eager to work with a progressive community that could become a long-term partner as the host city for the World's Championship Chili Cookoff."

The World's Championship Chili Cookoff is the culmination of a yearlong competitive chili season. Winners of the more than 200 ICS-sanctioned chili cookoffs are automatically qualified to compete in the Championship. These district, regional and state cookoffs raise more than $1 million annually for a number of charitable organizations.

Last year, the cookoff was held in Charleston, W.V. ICS has rotated the event's location, ranging from Las Vegas and Reno to Los Angeles and Omaha.

ICS will accept notifications of intent to respond to the RFP until March 9. Final proposals are due March 26. For a full timeline and additional information, communities can learn more by visiting the ICS Web site at www.chilicookoff.com.

ICS is a not-for-profit organization that sanctions more than 200 chili cookoffs worldwide, while the number of Chiliheads is close to 2,000 members. Chili competitions are judged in three categories: red (traditional red chili), chili verde (green chili), and salsa. Last year's red chili world champion, Maureen Barrett, earned the $25,000 grand prize for her Maureen's Almost Famous Red Chili.

Warm up to spring with Krispy Kreme's sweet, new take on banana-inspired favorites.
