   Why would you want to argue about a matter of personal taste? MM are   
   obviously doing fine financially. Their 'ambiance' and menu are not to my   
   taste (well, one of them might be). From my POV it is very unfortunate   
   that they are buying out so many indies and, IMO, depersonalizing them.
