I missed your post earlier. Flat tops are awesome. I was working as a bartender in a biker bar a long time ago and I was amazed at how great those things were. I did not realize that they made outdoor griddles for the public. My son-in-law bought one to accompany his smoker and I was amazed by the griddle. The kids saw my reaction and got me one for Father's Day. It was pretty cool.

LOL.......as an aside.......I love using the the stainless steel spatulas when cooking. I use two at once and it's cool to just hear them clinking off of one another and the flat top. I feel like some sort of Japanese chef. LOL......not really, but it's still pretty cool.
