Starbucks Contest: It's Over
Don't even bother. They have their winner, and I am guessing that the winner probably figured out what would be the most cutesy-pie correct answer possibility and called in at 5:00 p.m. with the correct answer WITHOUT benefit of solving the crossword.
No, it certainly is not. We have divined the correct answer grid, the ensuing question, and the answer to the puzzle. I don't know if we're going to be able to post those.
The Puzzle Brothers are currently on hiatus from construction. Crosswords by Dave Mackey appear regularly in New York Times anthologies. Crosswords by Robert Mackey appear in Los Angeles Times anthologies.

That's exactly what the person who won the contest may have said... "Let me guess." And, believe it or not, the answer is NOT "Starbucks".

Don't want to leave this one hanging...as revealed on other blogs, the correct answer was "Starbuck" (no plural).
