Please bring a gift if you'd like to participate.  =0D=0A=0D=0AAbout the restaurant:  Merit has a variety of dishes, with faux meats, with tofu, or vegetables.  All dishes are seasoned well, some are spicy, all are tasty.  The lemongrass tofu and the sesame eggplant are two of our favorite dishes at Merit.
