The Thrill of the Grill
Don't forget to bring the grill – it's key to a successful tailgate!
Hometown Advantage
You don't have to be a seasoned tailgater to mix up your race day menu. Add local flavor with salads made from regional produce and side dishes inspired by hometown cuisine.
Menu Strategy
Keep the menu simple with flavorful, prepared foods like Bush's Baked Beans, available in nine varieties. Empty the beans into a metal saucepan or aluminum tray, and heat on your grill's side burners or place on a raised rack for indirect heat.
Make a Game Plan
Organize the cooler with drinks on one side and food on the other. Place appetizers on top, so you don't have to dig for the first course.
Flavor Boost
Add gourmet taste to grilled favorites like burgers and chicken with marinades. For ultimate flavor, let meat soak in a zippered, plastic bag in a refrigerator for a few hours before the festivities.
Team Spirit
Tailgates are not only a time to celebrate with friends and family but also a great way to meet new people. Bring extra food and share with others. Be courteous to those around you by cleaning up after your party.
