impromptu picnic set up on the back end of the
family station wagon before a big fall football game.
While recreational and sport-utility vehicles have in
many cases replaced the station wagon, tailgating has
not lost its allure. If anything, it has become even
more popular, with most sporting and outdoor venues embracing this casual form of pre-event partying.
As with a winning team, the key to a great tailgate
party is a well-executed game plan. Which is precisely
why we’ve created this uncomplicated yet hearty tailgate meal, packed with deli and make-ahead foods,
as well as easily grilled fare. So grab a blanket, fire
up the coals and let the game begin.
