Who likes food? Who likes football? Is there anything that goes together better than food and football? I think not. Football is the totally American sport. And come to think of it so is overeating.

It doesn’t matter if you prefer the college game or the pro’s it’s all good. It doesn’t matter if you like to tailgate before the game or just eat in the comfort of your own living room there are so many choices. You can be elaborate or simple, have breakfast or dinner or even snacks.

That brings me to the best website for tailgating I’ve ever seen and it’s really easy to remember it’s tailgating.com. Joe Cahn is the founder of the site and the Commissioner of Tailgating. In 1996, Joe sold his business the New Orleans School of Cooking and chucked it all to go tailgating.

Joe Cahn is the world’s only professional tailgater. He tailgates at football stadiums, NASCAR tracks, and any other event where they party in the parking lot. Now in his twelfth season on the road, he has driven the JoeMobiles over 500,000 miles, visited hundreds of cities, and has seen thousands of fans and has eaten his way through over 500 tailgate parties.

Joe has been to 31 NFL stadiums, 123 college stadiums and 9 NASCAR Tracks and his website is a culmination of everything tailgating. There’s even a tailgating gear section for the latest and greatest in gadgets.

But of course the best part is the food. And tailgating.com has recipes for stuff out the cooler, griddle, grill, oven, and pot. There’s breakfast items, appetizers, dips, spreads, salsa, salads, breakfast, chili, seafood, marinades, nuts, stews, soups, beef, pork, seafood, poultry, vegetables, desserts and drinks.

And starting with this weeks Patriots game preview we will be linking to the recipe section of tailgating.com each week so you can either plan ahead for the parking lot or go shopping for the house.

Enjoy the games.
