Tailgating Down South is Back!

The wait is over. As college football returns, so does the ultimate celebration of Southern food, culture, and community.

Tailgating was born in the South, driven by an unmatched spirit of culinary inventiveness. This season, we are diving deep into the rich traditions that define our game days. From coastal seafood boils and slow-smoked Tennessee barbecue to bubbling pots of LSU alum Richard Lewis’ mouth-watering Gumbo to Jean Weathers’ amazing Georgia Brunswick stew, Chef Josh Butler’s Dog Island Grouper Burger, plus comforting seafood chowders, and truly astonishing desserts.

There’s no better place to launch than Atlanta when Coach Prime’s Colorado team visits Georgia Tech. Memories of Sanders carreer as an Atlanta Brave and Atlanta Falcon linger.

Make this season unforgettable. Fire up the grills, pack the coolers, and let the festivities begin!
