If you do steaks, throw in a branding iron for their initials, or something similarly personalized (college logo, etc)... Branding irons can be fun and provide something they might pull out for the occasional grilling party.

Good to hear that you found some good times in town. Ice House is a touch of the Austin business model in Dallas, and I think it will do great this summer. I think the metroplex area will become increasingly interesting for beer drinkers, as I know of at least two groups of guys that intend...

Just recently ventured into AG brewing, so I am currently stocked with multiple types of 2 row to get a taste for their differences. 55# Canadian 2row 20# western 2row 10# rahr 2row And maybe 4# of US hops on hand

Desperately need to get my hands on hop in the dark again... What state are you finding it in?
