We're looking at new places in that part of the world.

Minnesota is one of very few parts of the country where we have anything closed.

Rich really kept us in the game at times.

Our growth has been quite measured. It's never been our intent to impose a lot of restaurants on the world but rather to keep pace with the demand for our food. We've very methodically entered new markets and built in our existing markets based on the demand and what our opportunity has been.

We haven't said anything about what the cost structure will look like. We will be looking at all of that.

We're not stopping people from taking part - we'll work around that as best we can. We respect the rights of our people. We're trying to balance them against an obligation to customers and shareholders.

It's just become a more accepted, more mainstream culinary choice in this country.

They work their way down the line and everything is made to the customer's specifications.

After the last Plant game, we changed the whole offense, because this year the defense in our league has been a lot tougher. We began running a zone offense to combat Plant's defense. All we did in the lead-up to that game was concentrate on beating them.
