As some have noted, this was a stupefying feat of construction. Matt might be one of the only people in puzzledom who could have pulled this off. It was also a challenging one, after a run of more accessible contests: we had 1474 entrants, about 83% correct.
Other guesses included SURF AND TURF (14), TABLE FOR TWO (8), SALT AND PEPPER (6), THE WINE LIST (7) and many many others.
Congrats to this week's winner: John Yochem of Corvallis, Ore.!
