Besides being an amazing tradition, tailgating offers a great opportunity to show off your culinary skills. While you might think you’re limited due to the fact that you’re on the road, a little creativity and planning is all that’s required to make your tailgate meal a masterpiece.
The first thing you’ll need to take into account is game time. If the game is at noon or 1:00, you’ll could plan for breakfast or lunch. Evening games are usually at 4:00 or later, so you’ll want some type of lunch/dinner fare.
Depending on your group size, you’ll need to figure out if you want to go with a potluck-style meal or not.
