Next Week's Content: Stay Tuned

The upcoming schedule shows a tour of different regions located across the United States. National Football Teams and their cities will be chosen at random to take a deeper look at some tailgating traditions. The main theme will be on what is that regions speciality item for tailgating food because every region, team, and man has one. We all should know there is usually only one "right" way to prepare it too, but we are going to let you know some of the hardest kept secrets in grilling. Maybe your team will be on the list.

Bears Football!

One of my own tailgating experiences was during the 2006 NFL season. I went to the two Chicago Bears playoff games that were played at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL prior to them losing in the Super Bowl. In the first game, they played the Seahawks defeating them 27-24 which I thought was the best experience. Then the following game was by far a lot more exciting because they were playing the Saints for the NFC Championship. They obviously won that (they lost in the Super Bowl). Not only were the games amazing, but the tailgating (basically my first two times ever) was just as much fun. We cooked up these delicious rib-eye steak sandwiches with hearty deli-buns, and had some drinks before we went into the stadium. The neighbors were always generous offering up a taste of their morsels. Everybody wants people to try their food, so they can hear someone else tell them how good it is. I don't mind for the simple fact I get to eat it! Overall it was an awesome time. I recommend anyone to stop in Chicago for a Bears game, and definitely make sure to get there early for some tailgating.

Tailgating: The Ultimate Experience!

Almost everyone is familiar with what tailgating is, but for those of you who are not here is a brief description explaining what I feel it encompasses. Tailgating allows the typical businessman, serious brain surgeon, and even your professor to escape the pressures and stress of the real world to an oasis of food, friends, and booze not necessarily in that order. Patrons show up to the parking lots hours prior to an event (football, basketball, or baseball games, music concerts, and so forth) in order to kick off the enjoyment of the weather and the miraculous smells of others barbecuing. It is basically a gathering of fellow fans pregaming to get ready for the main show, but even though they congregate for the same event every fan celebrates in their own unique way. That is what makes tailgating great! This blog is created for the die hard fan who loves to tailgate every weekend, but also for those less experienced in order to share the great secrets and tips of having the best tailgating experience one can have.
