Team Pride Never Felt So Manly
Whatever your team, this is the ultimate grill mark for your meat.
Sometimes things in life are meant to be questioned like why your girlfriend came back from the grocery store with the brand of paper towel that costs $3 more a roll than the kind you buy. Others aren’t.
You don’t question why you need a custom grill grate with your favorite college team’s logo on it. That’s because instinctually we all know that meat just tastes better when it’s grilled with team pride. Never mind the fact that Matt Yarder, the founder of YM sports grates happens to be from the home town of one of our editors and supports the same college team.
So do yourself a favor, measure your grill and get your hands on one. It’s guaranteed to impress your buddies, not to mention make your whole grilling operation look that much more badass. [via Tailgating Ideas]
Cost: $135+ @ YM Custom Grates

Rule: A Man’s Kitchen Should Be Organized
All food and no storage makes Brian an angry boy…
As much as we’d like to keep everything in our lives nice and neat, it’s not always possible. This is especially true of the kitchen. The rolled up bags of cereal and pasta boxes aren’t going cut it.
The newest addition to my kitchen might be the perfect solution, the new OXO Good Grips Pop Containers. OXO makes a lot of innovative kitchen tools and organization products, this one quickly climbing my list of favorites. All you have to do is pick the right size container for whatever you’re storing, put the lid on, then push down on the button on top of the lid to form an airtight seal. Pop Containers also feature a modular stacking system for easy storage. It’s simple, yet effective, solution to keeping your food fresh and your kitchen organized.
Cost: $7-17 each, $99 (11 piece set) @ OXO

I drink juice like I breathe air. Orange juice, pineapple juice, strawberry juice, you name it. The latest addition to my kitchen is the Breville Compact Juice Extractor - an industrial like extractor with a top notch juicing system. It puts together my morning bev in seconds, not minutes. The 700 watt motor and 14,000 rpm cyclonic blades make delicious pulp of anything and breakdown is a total breeze. Absolutely key in consistent use.
It’s time to remove Jamba Juice from your monthly budget. I have.
Cost: $100 @ Crate & Barrel
