Menu Ideas, volume 2

Sat down with Dave (Rookie's Root Beer) tonight, and this is what we came up with as a continuation of last night. Ideas need to be tweaked, recipes generated, but at least it's a start. The menu, on the surface, looks a lot larger than I had originally thought. But when you look at the overlap of ingredients, it may not be too bad.
