Blogger-fest? What a concept. I can report that I have finally dined at Merle's, and found it quite good. Considering our turnout last time, we might not even need to bother with a back room reservation. Of course, I don't know what they offer in that respect.

Elvis?
Ernest Borgnine?
Robert Burns?

Perhaps I'll get inspired and come up with some graphics.
