B-day feast: wings, scallops, steaks, au gratin to name a few

Options
Celebrating best friend's (well, second to my wife) birthday, so there is a lot to cook today. They at to arrive at 3:30 sharp - they are always on time, so my walk-in apps will be ready too.

Prep has already started... as everything except the rolls will be from scratch. Taking a break now....

Attendees
:  my wife and I, another couple, and the guest of honor.

Arrival appetizers:
Guacamole
Hoagie dip (all the good ingredients of a south Philly hoagie mixed together, then you spoon it onto sliced baguettes.)
Wings dusted with a rub, then will be tossed in a hot sauce that one of the guests gave me for the last 10 minutes of cooking indirect at 325.

Sit down appetizer:
Pan seared scallop with a maple mustard glaze.

Main meal:
1- 3" 2-bone-in C.A.B. ribeye steak (really a roast.) for the guest of honor.
2- 2" bone-in C.A.B ribeyes
2 - 1 " C.A.B. ribeyes for the women.
Wine - Brunello de Montalcino we carried back from Italy in our suitcases

Sides:
Asparagus wrapped in fillo dough,
Au Gratin Potatoes (half and half, Gruyere cheese S&P, garlic and butter with a few other things)
Ceasar Salad
Crispy crust European style roll

Dessert:
Vanilla ice cream on top of a warm chocolate chip cookie served in ones own baking tin.

Pics or it did not happen... I know.  I will post as I go, but there will be little along the way in terms of comments as I will be focused on entertaining and cooking.
