Hosting some friends for the Pitt game this year and they're Capitol Hill-types unfamiliar with Penn State football tailgates. I wanted to see what folks here like to make at their tailgates to replicate an authentic experience. Would appreciate recipes too - sides, dips, crock pot, grill items, drinks, etc. Could be a fun thread!
 
Seriously, Bloody Marys/Mimosas as it is a noon game and we usually make breakfast burritos for those early starts. You can also have some French Toast and nice crisp bacon. Make some grilled stickies too. Have some Humble Pie for dessert for any Pitt fans there after the loss!

I like things that can be eaten with just 1 hand. Keep the other hand for a beer. Chicken wing dip is always good, especially later in the season. The key though really is, one handed stuff, no plate.

Drunken Eggs. Saute eggs in butter until sunny side up. Pour in Sherry, top with Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Cover until cheese melts. Serve over english muffins, and canadian bacon.

Try and stay away from the butter...extremely high in saturated fat

Lol it is my Mom's recipe. She is a great chef. I stole it from her. I have easier stuff to make that is just as good. I will share when I have time, but tailgating for the Women's Field hockey game, finishing up some smoked country style ribs.

A better option than regular Eggs Benedict: Upstream Eggs Benedict. Substitute smoked Sockeye Salmon for Canadian Bacon and use all the other typical ingredients. Delicious.

Rude, I do the same for Dunken eggs. I do love smoked salmon.

I have gotten lazy for noon kickoffs and have resorted to buying a tray of really good meatballs from a nearby Italian shop, some sharp provolone, and some nice rolls from Liscio's. Just reheat tray on grill and your done. I also buy some pepper-shooters as finger food and maybe a hoagie tray for after the game. Spend the time drinking not prepping and cleaning.

We are also famous for our annual seasoned rib eye steak sandwiches with Boursin cheese with chives and shallots on fresh bakery sub rolls. Just ask Tom McA. He will vouch for them. This is why I still say we need a McAndrew board tailgate flag/logo that can be flown at tailgates to identify board members so we can go freeload at other tailgates!

My Mom's other favorite to make for early games was Scotch eggs. Hard boiled egg, then you wrap in ground sausage, then flour, egg, breadcrumb. I bake them but you can deep fry as well.

These are great because you can make them the day before and eat them cold or throw them on the grill to warm them up.

To the contrary, per modern medical research, it is one of the most healthy parts of that recipe.

Tastes great, burns very cleanly in the body, provides good energy and helps to protect LDL particles from attack.

Keep telling yourself that. Your research is...wrong...I'm right!

From PubMed...

Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies evaluating the association of saturated fat with cardiovascular disease.

Siri-Tarino PW1, Sun Q, Hu FB, Krauss RM.

DESIGN:
Twenty-one studies identified by searching MEDLINE and EMBASE

RESULTS:
During 5-23 y of follow-up of 347,747 subjects... Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.

CONCLUSIONS:
A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD. More data are needed to elucidate whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.

Intake of saturated and trans unsaturated fatty acids and risk of all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

BMJ2015; 351doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.h3978(Published 12 August 2015)Cite this as: BMJ 2015;351:h3978

Abstract
Objective To systematically review associations between

intake of saturated fat and trans unsaturated fat and

all cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated mortality, coronary heart disease (CHD) and associated mortality, ischemic stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Conclusions
Saturated fats are not associated with all cause mortality, CVD, CHD, ischemic stroke, or type 2 diabetes, but the evidence is heterogeneous with methodological limitations.

Trans fats are associated with all cause mortality, total CHD, and CHD mortality, probably because of higher levels of intake of industrial trans fats than ruminant trans fats. Dietary guidelines must carefully consider the health effects of recommendations for alternative macronutrients to replace trans fats and saturated fats.

Decades of agenda-driven and too often hysterical claims by government representatives, emotion-driven advocacy groups and the old media, weren't backed by medical research. No surprise - We still see that sort of anti-science extremism from them all too often today.

I 2nd, 3rd, and 4th this. The key is the sausage to egg ratio. We use one pound of spicy or sage sausage to a half dozen eggs. Prepare them the night before and store them is cupcake tins, Keeps them from sticking together. Fry them up at the tailgate and voila, deliciousness!

Why do you think they ditched the food pyramid.. They were covering for big sugar all of those years.. The Mediterranean diet (high fat) is even recommended with weak evidence illbeit for hyperlipidemia.

There isn't a crayon font, to try to bring it down to your level.
Here's the bottom line, backed by dozens of modern research studies around the world...

Am J Clin Nutr. 2010 Mar
Conclusions

There is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) or CVD (Cardiovascular Disease).

Conclusions

Saturated fats are not associated with all cause mortality, CVD, CHD, ischemic stroke, or type 2 diabetes,​

Congrats on your sobriety but my point was tailgating is not everyday life, cooking your eggs in butter, consuming 10,000 calories or whatever your indulgence is perfectly ok for 8 Saturday's you can have a well balance diet the other 357 days a year.

LOL - False

For most people - Diets low in carbs, moderate in protein and high in "good fats" create healthy weight loss.

Here's the deal.... The Old Calories In-Calories Out, Excercise More theory doesn't work long term.
Every diet can work to some extent in the short term. But, rebounds are common and most people tend to gain back much of the weight they've lost, using the failed mantras from non-science-based government guidelines since 1977.

Within 5 to 10 years, most people will get a better understanding of the factors that are leading to healthy weight loss and sustaining weight loss. The old failed concepts have been used for decades and our country was overwhelmed by rising rates of obesity, heart disease, strokes, diabetes and cancers. They didn't understand the biochemistry, hormonal effects and metabolic processes.

Better to look at the actual science regarding cause and effect, than to continue to follow decades of failed government claims that have caused tens of millions of deaths and enormous numbers of serious and deadly health problems.

You are correct in weight loss. But diets low in carbs the majority of your weight loss is muscle! Not what most people want. Atleast me.
That's why the scale is a very poor measurement.
