Huh, interesting news. Wonder if Butcher will follow up (or if he is paying any attention to this at all, I don't know how involved he is with the fandom). I'm going to drop them from the lists, but we'll see if Sasquan announces if they're going to be replaced or not. You caught them fast- the usual blogs I read don't even have a post up yet! --PresN 19:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

A cheeseburger for you!

I'm a bartender at the newest Studio Movie Grill in the city of Dallas, and I think you're off to a great start on this article. I can tell you haven't worked on it for a while, since the company has at least 15 locations nationwide now, but if you were to update and publish it, I think it could be a great addition to Wikipedia!
