Title: First Tailgate of the Year
Post by: LostArrow on August 03, 2012, 07:24:54 PM
The Saints are playing Sunday in the first preseason game!
My friend Maggie who owns a bar & grill often has outside tailgates for the Saints games with food beer & a outside big screen on her bars patio.
I volunteered to cook 2 butts for the tailgate on her patio for the first game.
She called last nite , she got beer & butts volunteered & is going to charge $10 for plate & a beer & proceeds are going to Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame!
Now I get to cook 8 butts (72 lbs of meat)
Well you can cook 2 butts on mini tailgate , but not eight!
New plan cooking 5 on site with Double-Chef & 3 at home & taking to tailgate!
Double-Chef is now an official Saints tailgating cooker

Gonna be an interesting year for the Saints, I am an SEC college football nut but don't really have an NFL team I root for but the Saints are the closest thing I have to a favorite.

That food looks awesome.  And the party sounds great.  Too bad you don't have a good team to root for.   Go Giants.   :P
