Agreed, but that balance has to be awful hard to strike in the Lakes Region, right?

Locals might prefer the "hometown" Pine Cone whereas visitors might prefer the more "refined" Birch and Vine...though there still has to be sufficient local support year-round...

Speaking of which, are there any instances where restaurants have gone the other way?
