For some people, tailgating means showing up a couple of hours before the game and throwing something on the grill. And then there are the people who really tailgate.
You know who you are. You’re there early. The chairs are out, the music is on, the coolers are full and the grill is fired up long before kickoff. You’ve probably been thinking about the menu for a few days, and there’s a good chance people know exactly where to find you.
That’s our kind of tailgate.
And if you’re going to be out there all day, you need food that can keep up. That’s where we come in.
Early kickoff? Even better. That just means breakfast on the grill.
One of our favorite ways to start a tailgate is about as simple as it gets. Grill up some Kiolbassa sausage, roll it in a warm tortilla and you’ve got what we call a Taco Palaco.
You can add eggs, cheese, salsa or whatever else you like, but you really don’t have to. Sausage. Tortilla. Done.
Around here, that’s a pretty good way to start game day.
As the day gets going, it’s time to get more sausage on the grill.
Our Kiolbassa Smoked Sausage is made for days like this. Grill the links whole, slice them up for everyone to grab or put out buns and toppings and let people make their own.
And when somebody wanders over from the next tailgate because they smelled what you were cooking? Throw on another link. There’s always room for one more.
Every tailgate has someone who wants something in a bun. That’s where our Grass Fed Beef Grillers come in.
They’re skinless, hot dog sized and made with 100% grass fed beef and no pork. They’re an easy all beef option for anyone who prefers not to eat pork, and that familiar hot dog size can be a hit with kids, too.
Put out the mustard, onions, jalapeños and whatever else your crew considers essential and let everybody handle the rest.
If you’re tailgating all day, you can’t live by the grill alone. Well, maybe you can, but snacks certainly help.
Slice up some Kiolbassa Smoked Sausage for queso, sausage bites or whatever recipe always seems to disappear first. Or keep it simple with sliced sausage, cheese and crackers sitting out for people to grab between trips to the grill.
Because half the fun of a good tailgate is having something to eat pretty much all day long.
The game may be the reason everyone showed up, but a great tailgate becomes part of the tradition.
It’s getting there early. It’s firing up the grill. It’s feeding old friends and making a few new ones. And it’s staying long enough that breakfast somehow turns into lunch, which turns into one more round before heading into the stadium.
So bring plenty of Kiolbassa, don’t forget the tortillas and make a day of it.
We’ll see you at the tailgate.
