Tailgating

Last night on our regular walk, a street vendor was listening to the Yankee game on his portable radio. While I do love a delicious ballpark hotdog and draft beer, I must say, I am excited for the approaching football season. I am not a huge fan of the game itself and more a fan of everything that goes with it (i.e. tailgating). There is nothing better than the crisp fall air, the start of school feeling, and pulling out those sweaters. In this glorious season, I actually become somewhere of a mid-westerner rooting for the University of Michigan (thanks to Maq and his alma mater ).

With our first fall together in New York approaching, Maq is diligently researching sports bars with the Big 10 network. Since we don't have the channel, this network puts a wrinkle into our football season ever year. While we will kick the season off in Ann Arbor (my first visit and so excited!), for the few games that do show on major cable stations, I would like to host the tailgate here. See this post on entertaining at home. Starting my tailgate recipe search, I'm excited to try several. Click here, here, and here for a few delicious seeming items. These sandwiches would also be a great addition to the spread. What are your tailgating go-tos? Would love to collect a few new recipes!

Now fingers crossed that both Blue and the Gamecocks pull out a few wins!
