Beef and tailgating, well, they just go together. And – lucky us – both are in season!

Take this First-and-Goal Flank Steak (above), for instance. It’s got the yum factor as well as the wow factor. You can see its beefy recipe here.

That will certainly feed a crowd!

Next, you can serve Hail Mary Meatloaf. I mean, who doesn’t like meatloaf? Very satisfying – especially as temperatures begin to drop.

But my favorite is any Kansas City beef – steaks,  burgers, dogs, everything! Throw them on a portable grill and you’re good!

Tell me, what’s your dream tailgating menu?

An Australian company has put together flags created with its corresponding country’s cuisine.

Ours? Why, hot dogs, of course!

And truly, who among us does not enjoy the all-American all-beef frank?

There are a lot of other cool flags there. The Australian flag is made of a meat pie with sauce. Yum!

Check out these incredible, edible designs here. Which one is your favorite?

In keeping with our Hot Dog Month celebration, Parade.com has created a hot dog quiz:  Franks in Pop Culture.

Take the quiz here and see how much hot dog knowledge you possess. Do you know as much as you think you do about the importance of franks in our lives?

Maybe!

If not, here’s your chance to expand your mind — hot dog wise, you know.

Enjoy! And don’t be surprised if you find yourself craving a big, juicy beef frank after taking this quiz. I did!
