The Bauer Disco Ball shines a little light on the Chron star rating system, or lack thereof. He's mulling the quality/value ratio at Bar Agricole since they raised their signature cocktail prices by $1 post-three-star-Chron praise. Other revelations pertain to Robert Lauriston's newly remodeled Locanda da Eva and Zut!: two Berkeley restaurants he likes, but doesn't see as destination joints, so he won't be reviewing them. Meanwhile Cafe des Amis was awful, but he reviewed it because of all the pre-opening hype. [ISSF]
