Following your team around the country?

Well, even if you’re just doing it on the TV, you can pretend you’re there by tailgating with delicious dishes from the opposing team’s hometown!

A “Tailgating Across America,” if you will.

Playing a Philadelphia area team? Whoop it up with some hunger-busting Philly cheesesteaks!

New York bound? Gotta sample a NY hot dog, of course!

Midwest beef is primo, so don’t miss out on a perfectly grilled KC strip steak when tailgating in Kansas City or surrounding areas. Even if you’re “tailgating” in your living room.

Have fun playing with the various foodie themes in this tailgating trek around the U.S. Just don’t forget the napkins.

I can see you drooling already! 🙂

USA! USA!

Your favorite team is suiting out and gearing up for game day — and you should, too!

Get your gear and your grill ready to feed the hungry crowd that will gather to root them on.

First, you need to LOOK the part.

You’ve gotta get your oversized chef hat on so when you’re at the grill people know you mean business.

Then, make sure you have all the proper grilling utensils clean and ready. A grillmaster has got to have his tools.

Most of all, you’ve got to select the right meat for the job. Whether you’re doing beef tip appetizers, nice steaks or burgers and hot dogs — the quality (and quantity) of meat on hand is essential.

Your team deserves only the best … and why go to all the trouble of suiting out and cooking up a storm if the meat is subpar?

Start here for tailgating essentials and then check out these premium steaks and these appetizer ideas.

They should create a tailgating or game-watching party that’s sure to be a winner every time!
