A tailgate staple versus something that takes a little more work, but is well worth it.
No. 2 Fried Chicken vs. No. 6 Fried Oysters
Look, everybody's had fried chicken at a tailgate. I don't care if you picked up a 12-piece from Popeyes, a Cane's Tailgate Pack or just went ahead and did it yourself. You wrecked it and were happy. Don't pretend otherwise, even if it's not the flashiest item.
But if somebody says they're bringing a fryer and a quarter of oysters? They're your new best friend.
