2013 Alabama vs Arkansas Tailgate

Fall is finally in the air. This time of the year is by far one of my favorite, not only for football but also for cooking. As luck would have it, I have a project going live this weekend. I will be tied up before the game and am not cooking. However, I will be […]
Crimson Sunrise Mimosa

This is a great way to start off an early morning tailgate. I do not like all the acid in orange juice first thing in the morning. These are a little lighter and can even be made with light cranberry juice. Orange Slices for Garnish 1 part cranberry juice, chilled 1 part sparkling wine, chilled […]

2013 Alabama vs Ole Miss Tailgate

As you know I try and always have a theme for the tailgate and to not repeat menus (save for LSU). This summer I took a trip to Memphis and had forgotten what influence the rich Mississippi Delta had on parts of TN and MS. I know Oxford is not in the Delta, but it […]

2013 Alabama vs Colorado State Tailgate

We kick off the 2013 home tailgate season with the Rams of Colorado State University. Colorado is one of the states that have no official food. So, I started doing a little research. I learned that the US Potato Board is in Denver (I would have thought Idaho), Dove Creek, CO is the pinto bean […]
Shredded Brisket Enchiladas with Fire Roasted Salsa Verde

This salsa verde is one of my most requested recipes. By grilling all the ingredients you add another depth of flavor. If you don’t have a grill, you can roast them under a broiler. If you don’t like beef, you can use about any meat you like. I will use rotisserie chicken or even a […]
2013 Alabama vs Texas A&M
This week brings us another away game. It’s kind of crazy that we are going on week three and have not played a game in Tuscaloosa yet. But then we open up with a three week of run of home games. If you are heading to College Station, there should be no shortage of tailgating […]
