Tailgating Tips

Make sure you purchase a griddle or pan that is specially crafted for grill-top use. Otherwise, you will likely ruin the pan along with the breakfast... and no one likes a tailgate without food.

Prep as much of the food as possible before leaving the house. Slice the tomatoes, chop the potatoes, cut croissants in half, prepare the pancake batter, and slice up the fruit salad the night before, storing everything in Ziploc bags or in large Tupperware containers. Then, all you have to do in the morning is throw everything into a cooler and go.

Pack everything non-perishable the night before in the back of the car. This will save a ton of time while getting ready in the morning, and also reduces the chance of forgetting any crucial tailgating supplies.

Plan on each person eating an egg sandwich and one other item (either yogurt & granola, pancakes or another breakfast sandwich) to ensure you have enough food. When people are drinking they should eat heartily; the last thing you want is a queasy tailgater who's all keg and no eggs.

Decide who will take care of which tailgating prep and cleanup tasks ahead of time for efficiency. Assign one person cooking duty, one to table setup, another to cleanup and one to packing up before the game starts. Rotate duties each game so no one feels trapped or bitter with their assigned job.

Bringing a few extra items that won't go bad during the game is always a smart plan. Fans are likely to be hungry after the game, and having a few extra croissants, granola and fruit salad will keep them happy until dinner.
