July 16, 20187 yr What do y’all like to cook during game day tailgating? For me personally you can’t go wrong with ribs, hot links, and pulled pork.
July 16, 20187 yr It depends upon how much drinking you want to do. It's not easy to screw up a pork shoulder or hot links. You really need to be on your game for brisket or ribs.
July 16, 20187 yr 1. Wake up - bloody mary 2. Before heading to tailgate 2*Breakfast Tacos 3. Beer 4.Fin
July 16, 20187 yr It's not game day and it's not cooking but I love putting together pico de Gallo. Just did. Pico de Gallo and a cool hoppy lager
July 16, 20187 yr Have a friend who makes a perfect Buffalo Hot Wing Dip. I've tried to replicate it and haven't come close.
July 16, 20187 yr Pulled pork really is easy to do. Ribs can get expensive if you have a lot of people. And a whole mess of wings.
July 17, 20187 yr Have done a brisket a time or two, once a Prudhomme dark gumbo, smoked sausages, Frito Pie several times, Bob Armstrong Dip several times, and CoCola Salad (one of your Texas congealed salads with cherry Coke, Cherry Jello, a little pineapple, cream cheese, and some pecans. It looks like a dog's breakfast, but the crew likes it.), Even did Rotel/Velveeta queso once or twice in a rush. These are all for game-watching at various homes up here---tailgating being a bit remote.
July 17, 20187 yr Some form of noach is usually my go to. If I wake up hungover and 11am kickoff I go get some menudo and barbacoa.
July 18, 20187 yr I know that 11:00 games aren't very popular with y'all, but they're my favorite. I usually go all-out on a really late breakfast.
July 19, 20187 yr I love this thread. I have an Orion cooker and it can’t be beat for the time to volume prospect (and portability). It’s not anywhere close to as good as my BGE but for making pulled pork sandwiches for a bunch of drunks it’s ideal. Two 8 lb butts done in 4 hours. 6 racks of pork ribs done in 75 mins. For something different: I bought a small deep fryer and have produced a few hits. Wings (super simple), deep fried Oreos in pancake batter, and reuben egg rolls.
October 5, 20187 yr Reviving this thread. Cooking a couple of racks of baby backs. Going to hit them with some cooked down peach/habanero jelly for some homemade rib candy. Pinto beans in the instant pot. Leftovers during the game with some jap/cheese sausage.

October 6, 20187 yr Chicken fried backstrap sliders using homemade biscuits- topped with cream gravy .....brunch-ish for an 11am game- replace gravy with a diced candied jalapeño smear for later in the day.
October 6, 20187 yr Here’s what my cousin and I made for lunch at halftime. Two porterhouse steaks. No sides.
October 7, 20187 yr I have a short list of alternatives: smoked brisket and sausage, Bob Armstrong dip, Gumbo (Paul Prudhomme recipe), simple queso, Bean dip (seasoned black beans, cream cheese, jalapeños), CoCola salad (my Mom's recipe for a congealed salad-cherry coke, cherry jello, canned cherries and pineapple, cream cheese, and pecans), Jambalaya (PP recipe), Frito pie, migas (mornings), homemade egg nog (Bowl games). There are regular game-watching parties up here and I like to cook.

That sounds damn good, is that this year’s blackstrap? Lost a bunch of venison this summer to a GFI plug in the garage. Hope to have some fresh maybe next week.
October 8, 20187 yr No - We have a seemingly never ending supply due to our management program. We're hammering our frozen venison right now that was processed in Jan and Feb - trying to clear space for what's coming this month and next. Like a revolving door...... Like I said - take candied jalapenos with the syrup... dice them up and use them like jam as a spread on any fried meat, including fried chicken or pork chops. Winner.

Thank you for reviving this thread. Pos rep coming your way when I can give it again.
