What’s On Your Football Tailgate Menu?
Football season is almost here, so forget the cards for a minute… what are we eating? lol
Everybody has that one tailgate food they think is mandatory. Wings? Burgers? Brats? Pulled pork? Nachos? Chili? Somebody bringing the crockpot full of something that has been cooking since 7 AM?
I’m curious what everyone’s ideal tailgate spread looks like.
And I need to know: what’s the ONE food that if it isn’t at the tailgate, you’re disappointed?
Bonus points for the weird regional stuff that someone outside your area would look at and say, “What the heck is that?” lmao🤣

So I do ribs or crock pot pulled pork. I also do bacon wrapped jalapenos from time to time and this year gonna add a seafood boil to the menu. Texas Longhorn fan over here for college and Dallas for NFL
-
Now THAT is a tailgate spread!!!!Ribs, pulled pork, bacon-wrapped jalapeños AND a seafood boil? You’re basically running a restaurant out of the parking lot.
The seafood boil is an awesome addition too. And Texas Longhorns + Dallas makes the football lineup pretty easy to get behind. 🤘🏈
I might have to steal the bacon-wrapped jalapeños idea for my next tailgate. That sounds dangerously easy to eat about 47 of. lmao

Yeah I hate that tailgateing is not a thing in the PNW so now I just pick one of those to do for a gameday watch party

oh shoot so many fixings.. and its not the same for each game..
sliders
wings
potato salad
chips
drinks
chicken wings or chicken.

What drinks? Lol we do tea and cokes used to do alcohol but stopped drinking roughly a year ago now
-
im more of a mead or cider if i drink like that. otherwise its zero sugar sodas and water. possibly some juice as well

That’s still a pretty solid spread! And honestly, I like the “different menu every game” approach. Keeps the tailgates from turning into the same meal every weekend.
Sliders, wings, potato salad, chips and drinks is already enough to make me forget there’s supposed to be a football game happening.
Now I’m curious what the special occasion tailgate menu looks like when you really decide to go all out.

oh thats busting out the brisket or pork but or big slab of meet and smoking it the day and night before..

Y’all have some nice spreads. As long as someone else is cooking I’m happy with whatever!!
I’m wondering though if Skyline Chili is a tailgate food? It would be for me! I’m a big fan
-
So we had a dude on the submarine who swore by skyline chili and we kept telling him it was overated. To this day have still never had it lol
-
I live in Cincinnati, so it’s basically a food group here lmfao
-
Yeah so was he lol but like i said never tried it but should at some point
-
Think of a kind of mostly savory, with a little sweet meat sauce
-
I think it’s really good! But plenty of folks say it’s not even chili. I think there are no rules as to what is and isn’t chili. Texans say no beans. Beans, spaghetti, I’m not picky—give me all of the versions!
-
Yeah as a native Texan chili should not have beans at all lol
-
I have yet to meet a Texan who says “yeah add some beans!”
-
I wouldnt trust a Texan that said that cause thats just absurd lol
-
I like both ways. I barely considered Cincinnati style actually chili and that’s no disrespect to it it just is enjoyed more as a sauce than in a bowl with a spoon. I can’t go to a Reds or Bengals game without getting a Skyline Dog lol
-
Does a dog have spaghetti? Surely not, just the meat sauce?
-
Lol it’s just the sauce, mustard, onions and a of pile of cheese lol
-
too funny in not trusting a Texan who’d want beans
