Drunken brats get the party started.

There is something about huddling around a portable grill in a crowded parking lot on a Saturday morning that just screams fall. Crisp weather, exuberant fans and beer at ten in the morning — just completes the picture.  This past Saturday, our home team played Louisiana State University and although the action on the field wasn’t stellar (we lost), the spread at our tailgate certainly was. Not content to settle for the typical burgers and dogs, we’ve decided to give a culinary nod to each visiting team – spice up the season a bit. Southern favorites made over tailgate style, like Cajun Caviar, Beer-Soaked Brats with Cajun spices, and a thrown together Shrimp Boil gave our group something to cheer about even if our team came up short. Next home game is the Arizona Wildcats. Anyone got a good recipe for cactus?
