ceremony—eating, american

Yes, my friends, once again it's time to play: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner!
There are a few clues in the following lineups. See if you can use them, along with intuition, to determine who and how many are coming this year, 2007. Flashing back to previous years' Tnxbloggings is permitted. Yes, diversity has taken a bit of a hit this year on the Upper White Side. Nevertheless, as Mr. Li would say:
Happy American Eating Ceremony!

Bonjour!
As there is no more french bashing in the US, we won't come for thanksgiving, (but would to...). I looked at the list and I hope people can register in more than one item, otherwise, you will need another floor, baby!
Have fun, and we will miss you. Love to everybody
