This past summer, while competing in The Great Hot Dog Cookoff, I had a chance to meet Kelly, owner and brewmaster of Brooklyn’s true microbrewery, Kelso of Brooklyn. Kelso was a lead sponsor for the cookoff and the charity event that day, providing not only the space for the event, but some great ice cold [...]
Back over the summer, Team TailgateJoe competed in their first cooking competition, The Great Hot Dog cookoff.

Today we have a great, quick, and easy sausage recipe. Sausage is great fat guy food, and as such should be a staple of everyone’s tailgate. The best part about making your own sausage is you know exactly what is in it. Everyone has had bad or funky sausage before, you take a bite and [...]
Marinades figure very prominently in a lot of our tailgating and grilling. Now, let me get something straight off the bat here, I am NOT advocating the use of marinades when talking about premium cuts of beef, it is pretty ass backwards to take an expensive piece of meat like a filet mignon or porterhouse [...]
