In honor of finally meeting Mere, he created a new drink he called a "Vieira" and was allowed to mix it right there at the Hot Podium.
"It's a sweet nutty drink just like you." It's vanilla vodka, hazelnut liqueur, a little Irish cream, and a little half and half.
Mere said that sounds very rich, and Steve said it is a little rich "just like you" (audience laugh)
Steve said they normally put nutmeg garnish on top but not now as they are out of it.
They will drink if he reaches the million and he promises to add the drink to his regular menu if he does so.
