When it comes to planning and executing the perfect tailgate, planning and time management with regard to the menu is really important. I always strive to grill up as much as possible on site, but depending on equipment, what I want to cook, and how many people I have to feed, I also incorporate some [...]

If you are from Brooklyn, Staten Island, or even Manhattan you probably know of John’s Deli and their famous roast beef sandwich. That roast beef, and more so the fresh mozzarella and midnight gravy and onions is stuff of legend. In coming up with an idea for a “cold weather burger,” lol, wtf is a [...]
For the 10/12/14 Jets game vs the Broncos we are doing a “Italian Tailgate” theme for Columbus Day weekend. I wanted to come up with something special for the burgers with an Italian twist. The obvious choice was to go the route that every diner in the country has as an Italian burger and just [...]
The schedule has been released, and it looks pretty good. Of course TailgateJoe, the biggest and best game day fan club/tailgate party for the NY Jets, will be there for all home games again this season. We are planning lots of great new menu items for this season as well, as we try to get [...]
Today I am playing around with a new cut of beef for the first time, tri-tip. It is a small roast that comes from the bottom sirloin and weighs about 2lbs per side of beef. Now, most of you are probably scratching your heads and thinking “why have I never heard of this cut of [...]
Unfortunately every season has to come to an end. It was disappointing to end the season with a meaningless game against a meaningless opponent, but the season was a success when you look at the expectations of this team at the beginning of the season. We had a smaller than usual turnout at about 100 [...]
The Jets bounced back from a bad loss to take on the Raiders in week 14 and pull out a win in what might have been one of their best offensive performances of the year. We were lucky that the cold blustery conditions of the previous few days subsided and gave us a relatively mild [...]
Week 13 started out great with perfect weather and a great tailgate. Unfortunately the Jets didn’t hold up there end of the bargain as we got clubbed not just by any team, but hated rivals the Miami Dolphins. As far as the tailgate party, this one was a little special as we served what I [...]
Last season we came up with our first signature burger, the TGJ Lot Burger. It was a big hit when we served it at our parties. For the end of the 2013 season I wanted to do another special burger, and here it is, The Tailgate Double. I have to shamefully admit my most guilty [...]
November is here as we get into the thick of the season. Nobody saw this game coming as the Jets upset the Saints and grabbed the win at home! This was one of our larger crowds as we hit over 300 fans joining our party. Everyone enjoyed some great food as we prepared our smoked [...]
