Today we're going to take things back where it all began. Almost 5 years ago this is where we had our very first date. Now, we argue about when our first date was but, to me, this was our first date.

Well, "That" is the Bona-Fire. It's everything on what looks like a small grill. It comes out sizzling like a fajita plate but Better! If you are a meat lover this is the dish for you. Now, this comes in a variety of sizes, it can feed 2, 3, or 4/5. We decided to get the one that serves 3 people...
