Tailgate 101

So...tailgating is serious business.  Obviously.  I've always admired the hard core fans who show up the night before the game in their humongous RVs with the retractable awning and Direct TV hookups and flat screens.  And then on gameday when I walk around and I see these crazy meticulous tailgates that would make Martha Stewart proud, I feel a flush of panic and low self esteem.  I'm not that woman, I could never cook all evening and morning and carefully coordinate the tablecloths, napkins and cups and have enough food to feed everybody in the world that inevitably stops by!  Shew, a giant feeling of inadequacy just rushed over me.  Ok, I'm back.  I'm the person that picks at the nachos at one tailgate, and stops to get a pig in a blanket at the next.  The trick is not to eat too much at one stop, then nobody really notices you. 

So, in salute that those faithful women (and men) that do their tailgate up right, some photos that we can admire and aspire to:

Well, isn't this cute.


THESE are the women...


Just in case you were wondering these are "blazin' hot."  They're wings...no kidding.


This is serious.  If you look in the pink bus, you can see the barstools.  Party on the go.

If you're wondering how to class up your tailgate, just add latice. 


And one last photo:

 

This is a real product.  It costs $499.  I'm not kidding.

I'm not mad at you perfect tailgaters, just a little jealous.  After all, you make the southern tailgates what they are.  Good food, good friends and good times and I look forward to visiting your perfect tailgates this season.

Till next time!
