So more than 100 of you voted and the winner was clear:

Congratulations to Melon’s and to Mike for lobbying so hard.
I have to note, however, that the Unterekkie was really meant to be about who had made the greatest impact on this blog and, while cheeseburgers have had their place and the Melon’s burger was delicious, I have been extremely grateful to Elena, Paul, and Ellie for their contributions — both deliberate and spontaneous.
A formal award will be presented to JG Melon’s this week.
Thank you to everyone for voting and reading and making Unterekless Thoughts such a fun little project for me.
