Your cousin and his wife were very kind, and helped my wife and I find a few books on gardening (which have already been put to good use!)

Good eye! That is a brushed aluminum flaming cup that is mounted to the front of our bar at one of our Alpharetta locations. Unfortunately, it's quite a drive from Waynesboro, but if you're ever in the area...
