hat’s Cooler than Being Cool? ICE COLD! Yes…that is a well-known lyric from Andre 3000’s (Outkast) Hey Ya! song. The point is that your cooler can make a statement about your presence at a tailgate.

Keeping things cold at the tailgate is of utmost importance. The “keeping things cold” market is one that continues to utilize science and innovation to stay out in front just to en-

sure that your food and beverages stay cold when you are away from your refrigerator.

We’ve seen coolers of all types, shapes, and sizes. We want to give you the inside scoop on what’s new in the world of coolers so that you can have the ice cold beverages that you deserve. Basing our findings off of average everyday use criteria and other cool features, we’ve compiled a list of a few coolers that you should consider if you want to up your tailgate cred…

YETI Roadie 20 – Collegiate Edition If you don’t know the YETI brand, it is a premium cooler that keeps your ice cold and beverages chilled for much longer than needed. YETI has trademarked names for all of its features. Impress your family and friends at your next tailgate by describing the PermaFrost Insulation, T-Rex Lid Latches, NeverFail Hinge System, and BearFoot Non-Slip Feet. There are more features, but I can only remember four at a time. All the features are pretty much self-explanatory and the YETI brand definitely lets everyone know that you place high value on cold beverages. YETI has joined in on the licensing game, so now you can pay $60 more to get your favorite college team on top of the YETI Roadie. If you want something larger than the one-man portable Roadie, the Collegiate Edition is also available on the Tundra 45 and 65 coolers….

The price for the YETI Collegiate Edition Roadie 20 is $290. For more info: www.yeticoolers.com

Grizzly 16 If you are worried that your tailgate cooler may get run over by a 11,000 lb. tractor, then the Grizzly 16 is a great choice. This cooler cannot be destroyed by a car or tractor, and it is even Bear Proof Certified.

You never know when a bear may enter your tailgate to steal some beer. The Grizzly line of coolers and the YETI line share the common thread of being a premium cooler that is durable and can keep things cold for a long period of time. The Grizzly 16 has a cool and functional shoulder strap. It comes in a variety of colors and has a divider available if you need split up some food from drinks. There are many different options if you need more capacity…The largest is the Grizzly 400 which can hold up to 500 cans.

The price on the Grizzly 16 is $230. For more info: www.grizzlycoolers.com

Igloo Yukon Roller 50 When you think of coolers, Igloo is certainly one of the first brands that come to mind. They have more models and variations than the population of some small towns. After seeing the success of YETI and Grizzly, Igloo has now developed a premium brand… enter the Yukon Cold Locker…What’s cooler than a cooler? A Cold Locker…50 quarts is the smallest capacity of the Yukon line, which would normally require 2 people to move long distances when full.

The Yukon Roller 50 has a solid telescoping handle and rugged wheels that make it easily portable by one person. The Yukon can keep ice cold for 7 days and has a large tethered drain plug for fast clean up.

A cool feature that is useful for the non-roller version is the reversible skid and anti-skid feet. The Yukon Roller 50 is $450 at your local retailer. The Yukon Glide Roller 90 is the same price for more capacity.

For more info: www.yukoncoldlockers.com

JamCooler

Think back to that old Guinness Beer “Brilliant” commercial. You say to your friend, “I want to make a cooler that plays music.” Your friend says, “Make a cooler that can play music? BRILLIANT!” Then you say, “I want it to be able to hold 100 cans and for the ice to remain cold for days.” You friend says, “Make a music cooler that holds 100 beers and stays cold for days? BRILLIANT!” It also has a handle and wheels.

Put all of that together and the JamCooler is created – enter your favorite expletive _______…why didn’t I think of that? The JamCooler will certainly make a statement with JBL speakers pumping out 600 watts of music from your Bluetooth enabled IPod, MP3, or other music device. You got to see it, hear it, and touch it to believe it. The JamCooler is priced at $450. For more info: www.jamcooler.com

My Friends T

he 1st few months of football season can still be a little hot in some parts of the U.S. Like most anything you do, when you are tailgating, you definitely should have a way to cool you and your guests off so that everyone stays comfortable and focused on the fun. We’ve found a few items for you to check out that can keep you and your guests from sweating your #$%es off. So stop resorting to putting ice cubes down your pants at the tailgate. You won’t get the long cooling satisfaction from that as you would from introducing one of these game changers into your hot gameday festivities.

Cyclone 2000 by Port-A-Cool:

$539.99 The Cyclone 2000 is a smaller version of the ones you may see on the sidelines during hot football games. But don’t let the size fool you. This thing can cool and circulate air for up to 500-700 sq. ft. of space. This portable cooler has a remote control with 2 settings allowing you to control your cooling comfort level and temperatures. If you need a continuous flow of mist, there is a hose connection specifically for continuous use but the cooler can hold up to 10 gallons of water that will give you hours and hours of cool. This is a solid piece of cooling equipment so make sure that your generators can handle the power that it needs to run. For more info head to www.port-a-cool.com.

Amit Misty Cooling & Humidifying Fan by Lava Aire:

$199.99 If you are looking for a sleek and stylish heat beating solution, you should check out the Amit Misty Cooler. It is a compact, remote controlled 2-in-1 humidifying fan. It has 3 nearly silent speed settings and 360º wind circulation that can cool an area of up to 150 square feet. The front grill also rotates along with the fan blade to circulate air through the area you need cooled. The Amit Misty’s removable 2.5 liter water tank provides up to a remarkable 10 hours of cooling power. There’s also an energy-saving timer with a 9-hour range so you set it to operate and not have to worry about forgetting to turn it off or accidentally leaving it on for an extended period of time. For videos and more info go to www.lavaheat.com.

Velos 16’ Misting Fan by Auramist:

$249.99 This misting fan works great outdoors and can reduce temperatures around you and your crew by up to 30°F. It is equipped with patented non-clogging nozzles that break down the water source to a very fine mist which is dry to the touch. What does that mean? That means that you will get nice and cool but you won’t get wet. Its 16” head oscillates 90°, providing a wide area of cooling (this fan can cover more of an area than most NFL Safetys). Choose from three fan speed options and control the level of mist output to best suit your personal comfort levels.

This fan will make your parking spot the coolest spot in the lot and is an excellent addition to your tailgating arsenal. Find out more at www.auramist.com.

Powering Your Tailgate by: Stacey Moore, InsideTailgating.com s electronic appliances and devices become more portable and part of our everyday lives, having enough power at a tailgate becomes more and more important. Portable inverter generators are the best way to bring enough power to your tailgate and avoid burning out your car battery. Never bought a generator before and have no idea where to start? Here are some beneficial generator tips for tailgaters:

A

“Inverter” is an important word – Make sure that you have or are buying an inverter generator so that your electronic devices and appliances are running on “clean” power.

Determine the number of Watts needed – Add up the watts of everything you are going to use at the tailgate. For continuous usage it is recommended to add 20% - 50% to that number. So if all your stuff adds up to 1000 watts, make sure your generator can handle 1200 – 1500 watts.

Subtract 20% from a generators max capacity and use that number as a good continuous usage number. If a generator max is 2000 don’t exceed 1600 watts for continuous usage.

Up grills&gear

Figuring out how many WATTS you need is a real pain when you want to be more concerned about what food and drinks to get at the store. We understand…. we have taken a look at some of the most common items tailgaters are going to plug into a generator. Then we came up with a general rule of thumb for appliances and electronics purchased within the last 3 years. Fortunately, manufacturers are focused on reducing the power required by appliances and device. There is a 42 inch TV that will require less than 60 watts in the near future…yes…that is less than an average light bulb!

Appliances like electric grills, blenders, and coffee makers may vary greatly. If you think you are borderline you may want to actually do it the old fashioned way…do your own math. Based on the list above, a 2000 Watt inverter generator can handle most tailgaters’ needs. Here is list of five generators that we like that all have parallel capabilities in case your power needs grow:

Basic formula - Amps x 120 = Watts Appliances and devices can often use 2x to 7x the wattage listed when starting.

Keep this in mind when deciding what to plug in first and troubleshooting a device that may not be starting.

Many inverter generators can be linked. It could be cheaper to buy two 2000 watt generators than one 4000 watt generator…don’t ask why…

Make sure you have enough gas for your generator – Pay attention to the amount of time your generator will run on a full tank of gas.

Bring an extra gallon or five gallon can along so that your TV does not go down on the big play.

grills and gear Must Haves Strongback Chair

Does your tailgating chair make you uncomfortable, leaving you slightly hunchbackish when you stand up? Well…check out the Strongback Chair. The STRONGBACK Chair’s claim to fame is its ability to help you finally “enjoy your outdoor experience in long-lasting ergonomic seated comfort.”

Tailgaters can choose from 2 chairs, both designed to support the natural lumbar curve of your spine. The added support prevents you from slouching forward and plaving unhleathy pressure on your spinal discs. If you think these chairs are bulkier than traditional tailgate chairs, you are sorely mistaken.

Truma LevelCheck

Keeping track of how much fuel your propane has at any given moment can be a tedious task. If you are an avid griller, at some point, you have run out of propane and had to either throw out what was left on the grill or had to scramble for more fuel. THAT IS INCREDIBLY EMBARRASSING. Well…don’t worry about being embarrassed or scrambling anymore.

The Truma LevelCheck shows how much gas is left in your cylinder and is extremely easy to use.

The device is held horizontally against the gas cylinder and uses ultrasonics to detect whether there is any liquid gas in the cylinder at the point where the measurement is being taken. The product is equipped with an LED that signals green if there is gas at the measuring point and red where no gas is detected. The Truma LevelCheck is suitable for all propane, butane, steel, or aluminium LPG gas cylinders with a diameter of 7.9 to 13.8 in (200 to 350 mm). Grillers can find the Truma LevelCheck in outlets across the US. For more information on the Truma LevelCheck, head over to www.levelcheck.com/us/.

Ultimate Hand FanFinger

You can choose from hundreds of teams and mix it up a little by customizing your own! The Ultimate Hand foam fingers retail at $34.98, and is totally worth the price for the chance to show your team pride in a bolder way!

This product stops your propane tank from rolling around the back of your car and damaging other cargo and your interior. EZ Go Propane Transporter is lightweight and is

perfect for storing your tank while you are running to the store to get it refilled or taking it to the tailgate lot. This is a must have accessory if you are a frequent griller! The EZ Go Propane Tank Transporter is only $13.99 and you can buy it or find more information at www.propane-ezgo.com.

Skeeball Meets Cornhole By: Steve Urena, InsideTailgating.com

A

s we reach the beginning of the 2013 season, you may be looking for a new game to add to your tailgating repertoire.

You have cornhole boards and the beer pong tables, but sometimes, if you are traveling with a full carload, you don’t always have the space to fit large items. We’ve found a game that is not only lightweight and portable but it is a lot of fun as well! This new game is called BecoBall! People of all ages can play this game at tailgate parties, backyard barbeques, the beach, campsites, or anywhere you decide! BecoBall utilizes two frames, two pouches of your color choice, six balls, and can be transported with ease inside of its carrying case.

One way to describe BecoBall is that it is a mash-up of SkeeBall and Cornhole. BecoBall features the skill of tossing soft long-lasting “hacky sack” type balls into a goal, which is very similar to the game of Cornhole. As

12

for points and scoring, just like in SkeeBall, the outside ring on each frame is worth less than the center ring and so on. The official scoring rules are, 1 point awarded for any ball landed in the outermost ring, 2 points are awarded for the middle ring, and 5 points are awarded for the center hole or the “Ringer”.

The makers of BecoBall wanted to simplify the scoring and regulate the rules to make a game that is universally challenging and fun for a wide variety of ages. The game is tournament capable, durable, and compact (only weighs about 12 lbs). Did we also mention that BecoBall was also a featured game in MegaGate 2012!

BecoBall is a great way to entertain your guests at your parking spot or in your backyard! So check out BecoBall by going to www.becoball.com and customize a game to your liking. You will not be disappointed, and your tailgating buds will have a great time playing! Enjoy!

Food&Drink HOT SAUCES ARE

HOT! 10 Hot Sauces That You May Have Never Heard Of

By: “Gameday” Steve Long, InsideTailgating.com

S

o you are an experienced tailgater and cook. You have competed in BBQ competitions, been the grillmaster for your tailgate, and have seen your fair share of grilling shows on TV. You are an expert at things like different cuts of meat, chicken, bbq, bbq sauces, and you might have all of the cool gadgets that go along with being a professional parking lot chef.

But what do you know about Hot Sauce?! It is a condiment that is widely popular across the Tailgating Lots and perhaps the most used condiment in parking lot dares. You might know a good bit about the typical grocery store brands, but there is a complete world of hot sauces and brands that you may never have heard of. Recently, it came to our attention that we actually have an expert hot sauce maker and pepper grower right in our own backyard! His name is Smokin’ Ed Currie, and he is the Founder of PuckerButt Pepper Company, which is just down the road from our offices in Fort Mill, SC. He is a longtime pepper fanatic who started growing peppers to study their effects on cancer and heart disease. After a few years of study, Ed decided to take it to the next level by using his pepper knowledge to build his own hot sauce brand. We had the chance to talk with him about what he has accomplished thus far and got the inside scoop on a few hot Smokin’ Ed Currie sauces you probably haven’t heard of. We also collected a few interesting stats on the elusive pepper and what makes them taste spicy and HOT. Oh, and did we mention that Ed holds the world record for growing the HOTTEST pepper ever? Yep. THE WORLD’S Hottest PEPPER!

Fact:

If you find yourself in a scurry to eliminate the effects of a hot sauce burn, lime or lime Juice is actually much better for eliminating the effects of a hot pepper blitzkrieg. The citric acid in limes helps break up the molecules that make you wanna cry.

Grapefruit juice works as well.

Myth:

So…What Makes a Pepper HOT?

We hope you are ready to learn something!

The heat sensation from a pepper depends on the amount of capsaicin compounds in the pepper. Chiliheads and experts in the spice industry express that heat sensation in “Scoville Heat Value” units, or SHV. Chemists use what is called High Performance Liquid Chromatography to determine the Scoville Heat Value of each test subject or in this case…pepper. Pure capsaicin has a Scoville Heat Value of 16 million, and you can’t and shouldn’t eat it straight.

Like we mentioned before, Smokin’ Ed has a pepper hybrid that he has developed called the Carolina Reaper that has clocked in with a SHV of 1.6 million.

10 Hot Sauces You Should Try

Although he is the proud owner of Puckerbutt Pepper Company, Ed was happy to share his knowledge with us about a variety of hot sauces Chiliheads should try. “We’re all one big family,” he said, citing the camaraderie that goes along with being in the business, where each sauce maker is happy to help another out and dedicated to seeing each other succeed.

So…are you ready to hear about some hot sauces that you might have never heard of before? These are in no particular order, but since you are getting good hot sauce recommendations from an expert in the field, you should probably try them. Every one of these is unique in their own way, and each one has a flavor that you will just have to try for yourself. You can find these sauces in PuckerButt’s brick and mortar store, but we’ve listed them as well as their brief description and price along with where you can find these excellent hot sauce brands online.

4 Fat’s Hot Sauce: This unique sauce has a

burst of citrus flavor that comes intertwined with a euphoric combination of other delightful spices and ingredients. Try some and just when you think it’s over, the “exquisite wave of heat from fresh Trinidad 7 Pot Peppers” arrives to knock you straight out of your fold up chair. It might knock your tailgate tent down too. $6.49 at bigfatshotsauce.com

Bumblef**cked from Bumblefoot: That’s right. The guitarist from Guns N’ Roses has started his own hot sauce line and is cookin’ up some hot sauce like a rockstar should. Bumblef**cked has “a tropical fruit & ginger flavor, followed by a sledgehammer of caffeine & ginseng.” Definitely crank up the volume on your gamedays with this heart-pounder of a hot sauce and let your taste buds jam out with a few awesome air guitar riffs. $15 at bumblefoot.com

I Dare You Stupit from

6 Puckerbutt Pepper Company:

This hot sauce is made with one of Smokin’ Ed’s experimental capsaicin pepper hybrids and probably shouldn’t be allowed through TSA checkpoints.

A leading university evaluated its SHU to be over 1.4 million on the Scoville Scale. The taste of this is two-fold. The ingredients are “layered in rice vinegars so you can taste it first, and feel the delicious burn second.” We double dare you. $12 at puckerbuttpeppercompany.com El Chupacabra from CaJohns: The

7 Chupacabra may be a mythical creature, but this sauce isn’t. However, after trying it, you might see a few Chupacabras running around your tailgate. Imagine “several of the the ultra-hot peppers like the Trinidad Scorpion, Moruga, and Bhut Jolokias mashed together with spices to create a deadly sauce called El Chupacabra.” If you like your food just a little spicy, then you shouldn’t try this. This is for experienced hallucinators only. $15 at cajohns.com

8 Blueberry Hell from Hellfire Hot

Sauce: You think the rivers in hell are orange? You might be wrong. After seeing and tasting Blueberry Hell with its

unique deep bright burgundy color, you can only imagine that the those rivers have deep bright burgundy color. Blueberry Hell is unique in a sense that it provides an initial sweet taste of blueberries followed by the intense heat of a bhut jolokia pepper and then back to the sweet taste of blueberries. Crazy ain’t it?! What’s crazier is that some chili connoisseurs put it on their ice cream! $9.99 at hellfirehotsauce.com 1498 Cauterizer from Heartbreaking Dawns: If you know what a cauterizer is, then you are probably a doctor or can get a sense of what this hot sauce is all about. The Heartbreaking Dawns highly anticipated 1498 Cauterizer is an excellent hot sauce that is actually a step up from the original batch. The difference now is that they have taken the original exceptional flavor of 1498, and recreated it with 100% fresh Trinidad Scorpion Peppers. How awesomely hot is that? Have YOU ever added Trinidad Scorpion Peppers to anything? Didn’t think so. $9.99 at heartbreakingdawns.com

10 Hellacious Hot from High River

Sauces: This sauce is about as hellacious (in a good way) as a swift kick in the mouth with a burning shoe, but yet it is robust and bold with expressive flavor. With the combination of peppers and a variety of spices, this sauce will send you straight to the nearest river to stick your face in only to open your mouth and scream. On the bright side, Hellacious Hot is “devilishly addictive to your taste buds and goes great on your burgers, steak, chicken, pork and pizza.” $5.99 at highriversauces.com

There is a vast amount of hot sauces out there to choose from. But as you can see, adding some new flavor at the tailgate this season won’t break the bank! So, if you are trying to break out from the flavor norm this football season, try picking up a few bottles of the ones we’ve listed.

You might just impress your taste buds as well as your tailgate buds! Enjoy!

Food and Drink Gadgets That...

you MUST HAVE for fall 2013

The CanCooker

Are you looking for a new way to cook meals for your crew out in the lots? If so, then you definitely need to take a look at the CanCooker. The CanCooker uses steam, as opposed to boiling, which will keep your food juicier and tastier than your Uncle Harry’s famously dried out burgers. The 2 gallons of cooking space allows you to cook up a variety of different meals for up to 10 people (psst…that’s a lot of people). Simply place the ingredients in the CanCooker, place it over any heat source, and then go tailgate until you’ve reached your recipe’s cook time…

THAT’S IT! There’s no sticking or mess to have to clean up, making your life a little easier after the tailgate. CanCookers start at $59.99 and are for sure an excellent addition to your tailgating arsenal. Head over to www.cancooker.com for more details, recipes, and videos on how it works!

BBQ Sauce (a Basic But Effective Version) by: “Gameday” Steve Long

T

his recipe is for perhaps the most inexperienced of cooks and chefs (myself especially). I’ve always wanted to make my own BBQ sauce for my own grilling pleasure. I thought that it would be hard to do but after doing some experimenting, I realized that making a basic barbecue sauce is really easy. Try this out for a base and add some extra flavors and spices to turn this into a really kickbutt BBQ sauce that you can brag to your tailgating buds about. This’ll yield about 4 cups, which is a good amount to test before you start making buckets of it. Here’s what you’ll need…

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup water 1 1/2 cups ketchup 2 tablespoons of butter 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 3 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 onion finely chopped 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon celery salt

Place all of these ingredients in a small saucepan and set to a medium heat. Bring them to a boil and stir until you have blended all the flavors together. When that is complete, reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the sauce has thickened (approx. 25-30 minutes).

Boom. There you have it.

Remove from heat source to let it cool then slather it on…everything!

Remember: This should get you started for a basic sauce but If you want to spice it up, feel free to add your favorite hot sauce in there as well. I recommend a basic one like Texas Pete at first until you know that you want to use to kick it up a notch. Feel free to get creative!

Wear Your Sunday Best on

Saturday!

By: Stephanie O’Neal, TailgateQueen.com

N

o matter the university, ladies are dominating the tailgate fashion scene. Football in the south is not only a chance to support your favorite team, but also a chance to support them in style.

“Nothing embodies the Southern spirit quite the way that tailgating does. Delicious food, stylish outfits, and a whole day of socializing.”

– Sally Ingles, Clemson University Class of 2015 The long standing tradition of dressing up for gameday is more than just ladies looking fabulous in sundresses; it’s carefully assembling the perfect look with a very specific color combination in mind. From head to toe (or headband to shoes) the ladies of college football have become professionals in the contact sport of shopping.

“One of my favorite games to dress for is the Black Outs at Carolina.

Putting that outfit together is always fun, especially when you see the final product in the stadium” – Sarah Owens University of South Carolina, Class of 2006 Carefully procuring clothing that shows off school pride isn’t something to scoff at. I’ve seen firsthand what a lady is capable of in the midst of a sample sale, and it isn’t pretty. Yet, on gameday, when you look around any given tailgate, the two toned styles are seamlessly put together as if a second thought wasn’t even needed.

“In the years that orange isn’t a popular dress color, life is difficult.

I have to search farther and wider for something to wear.”

– Ali Jackson, Auburn University Class of 2006

This season will be no different. As fall quickly approaches, the search for team colors, in this year’s trends, is underway.

Chevron prints, color blocking, & maxi dresses are all the rage, and finding them in just the right shade is a feat unto itself.

“I am always surprised when I see pictures of girls tailgating at other schools in shorts and t-shirts. Tailgating at Georgia is all about dressing up in something cute, comfortable, and coordinating (in UGA colors).

Dresses or skirts in red and black are everywhere you turn.

Lucky for Georgia fans, black is an easy color to wear!”

– Stephanie Southerland, University of Georgia, Class of 1996 College gameday is an experience that is hard to describe. The excitement in the air is contagious, the food is delicious, and the memories are well documented.

“As a cheerleader at Wake Forest, I was always sad during football season that I couldn’t participate in tailgating. We paraded through the tailgates before the game with our mascot and saw everyone dressed proudly in black and gold, eating spreads of food! I loved going back to Wake Forest after graduation with my ‘Little Black Dress’, socializing and finally enjoying the tailgate fun!”

– Courtney Lominack, Wake Forest, Class of 1996 While looking for the dress is sometimes a headache, the ladies of football are living for the gameday moment. When it all comes together, the party that commences is well worth the trouble. From food to socializing, one thing stands true: in a place where football is said to be a religion, it only makes since to dress up in your Sunday best.

Stephanie O’Neal is the owner of TailgateQueen.com and a ladies fashion contributor for InsideTailgating.com. If you are looking for some cute new outfits for the game, you should definitely head on over to tailgatequeen.com to check out some of the latest styles for the Fall!

Inside Tailgating

Spotlight:

los borrachos

tailgating group By: Steve Urena, InsideTailgating.com

T

he slogan goes: “Everything is bigger in Texas.” The food is bigger, the state pride is bigger, and in this very special case, the tailgating is bigger. Representing the great state of Texas is the Los Borrachos Tailgating group, a raucous cavalcade of diehard Dallas Cowboy fans.

The LBTC was assembled in 2006, by founders Carlos Celedon (Borracho #1) and Ricardo Rodriguez in Edinburg, Texas at the legendary Texas Stadium. The group’s first tailgating endeavor was creating a giant Dallas Cowboys helmet to cover their grill.

They have been grilling and cheering for the Cowboys together ever since. There are currently 40 active members of the group with members hailing from Texas and California. The LBTC and their products have piqued the interest of people all over the United States. Each member of the group shows their Los Borrachos pride by wearing a personalized shirt with each member’s unique number. Each time LBTC decides to head out to Arlington, Texas to the Cowboy Stadium, they travel eight hours from Edinburg to tailgate Los Borracho style. They bond together on each trip and memories are made that last a lifetime.

“When we head out to tailgate we arrive at the reserved space at 7 a.m. regardless of what time game starts,” explains leader Carlos Celedon. The cooks are Mando Celedon (Borracho # 2), Joe Lara (Borracho # 3), and Ricardo Rodriguez. Jason Ro-

driguez (Borracho # 4) handles our public relations and initiation of new members.”

Once the Borrachos arrive at the famous Cowboys Stadium, the crew embarks on a tradition synonymous with the group. All members who are tailgating at the party take a shot of Don Julio Tequila 1942 before the Cowboys Helmet pit is turned on. Once the shots are consumed, the food is put on the grill, and the real Los Borrachos Tailgating experience begins!

“If you haven’t been to a tailgating party with the Los Borrachos, you’re missing out,” says Celedon. “The hospitality, the drinks, and the Edinburg, Texas barbecue is mouthwatering. Our food spread includes dips, menudo, homemade pico de gallo, sirloin fajitas, pork spare ribs, Borracho chickens, and homemade jalapeno bombers. We got you covered.”

The group is always accepting new members and can be reached on their

Facebook page @ Los Borrachos Tailgating Crew. They are looking forward to a great 2013 season and will be there for their team at every turn. So for all Cowboy fans willing to join, send them a friend request and see for yourself that even tailgating is bigger in Texas!

Borracho Chicken: Marinate whole chickens with orange, pineapple, and mango juices with a variety of spices, to include brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook time depends upon the weight of the chicken. For whole chicken it is recommended that you preheat the oven to 350 and cook for approximately 40 mins per pound. The temperature on the thermometer should read 165 degrees (breast) and 165-175 degrees (thigh).

Don’t forget! If you have a tailgating crew that you would like to see on InsideTailgating.com or inside the magazine, shoot on over to InsideTailgating.com and NOMINATE YOUR CREW!

A Tailgate Cave for the

A

By: Michael Kean aka “Thrilla tha Gorilla” few years ago, we here at Inside Tailgating changed our address and moved a few blocks closer to Bank of America Stadium right here in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina. Our new headquarters, located at 610 McNinch Street, is nestled very conveniently right in front of an 8 acre parking lot just two blocks west of Bank of America Stadium, home to the Carolina Panthers. Upon moving in we discovered what a truly unique setting we had invariably stumbled onto. What we found is that we had some extra warehouse type space located behind the actual office space and as it turns out, the warehouse area was an ideal space to convert to a Tailgate Cave and do some ‘Inside Tailgating.’

From there, the legacy of ‘The Shed’ had begun.

The Shed has close to an area of 10,000 square feet to utilize for indoor and/ or outdoor tailgate parties.

We have every tailgating game imaginable on location, so, if you’re a master of cornhole, ladderball, or a high level pong enthusiast, you are going to find something constructive to do while you are tailgating with us. The Shed is an open air venue vented by three different sliding garage doors, giving it the feel of being outdoors right along with some of the creature comforts of being inside. Should you or your group require more covered space, constructing an outdoor tent on the North side of the building is well within the realm of possibility.

The Shed is absolutely ideal for viewing parties of any type, as it sports a 120 inch projection television screen bookended by two 60 inch flat screen TVs. Our venue is an outstanding

32

location for viewing parties, corporate gatherings, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, graduations, anniversaries, large alumni groups….and obviously tailgating. if you are the organizer of a large tailgate group, The Shed would be a perfect meeting spot for friends and fans of the home or away team.

There are frequently live music shows and concerts taking place nearby at BOA Stadium, as well as big events like the Belk Bowl and the ACC Football Championship. Be sure to check out some
