At the Playoff game last year NE at Denver we had Lobsters....

Or, NE could equal Clam Chowder or baked beans, too.

Cardinals or Seahawks = Fried Chicken
Dolphins = Tuna Fish (ok, maybe not...ha!)


I'll have to do more chicken

I hope it's the Saint's. Gotta love Nawlins style cuisine.

I'll post a few more tailgate recipes soon. I've got a few good "theme" recipes!

In St. Louis last year I grilled some leg of lamb that was quite the breakfast treat, even made it on local TV.

Well, I kind of "sluffed off" on that part! LOL!...but as a host gift, I made up a OM Tailgate Recipe Book for Meck complete with Tailgate pics!

It probably only made TV so they could laugh at us for losing. But, it was damn tasty!

Milehimike is working on getting us bear meat for Chicago - seriously!

[BroncoInSkinland]

Gotta be crabcakes for Baltimore, unless you really ARE into eating crow. I will try and get a local recipe up sometime in the near future, although with my record at cooking its probably best if you look somewhere else for it and pay me no mind.

For Philly you'd have to do Cheese Steaks.

Find an understanding butcher to thinly slice up some rib eye

Throw it on a flat top griddle, shredding it with 2 ,metal spatulas until there's no pink left.

Fry up some onions (optional) I personally don't like them.

Throw a Jar of Cheese Whiz in the microwave.

Get the best italian sandwich rolls you can find (most parts of the US this is going to be the hard part) and toast them up on same grill over meat.

Slap some of the cooked meat onto a roll with some whiz.

Serve ketchup, hot and sweet peppers, on the side;.
