Gone are the days of just a bag of ol’ corn chips and a beer before, during and after the big game.

These days, we’re SERIOUS about tailgating. And the tailgating food?

Oh, it’s on!

Take this Steak Fajita Chili (shown above), for instance. That’s not a snack. That’s a MEAL!

And rabid fans need fuel to cheer their teams on to victory.

Food Network has put together a slideshow of their Top 50 Tailgating Recipes here.

Know what I like best? Lots of them feature my favorite – beef!!!!

Like Chili in a Biscuit Bowl. And thank heavens for the edible bowl. Less trash!

And Brisket Sandwiches. Can you say YUM?

Check out all the delicious tailgating delights from Food Network. Then, head over and check out these tailgating treasures, too!

Can you believe Memorial Day is almost upon us? It’s one of the Holy Grails of grilling holidays.

Are you ready?

Well, there’s a sale on what I believe are the best meats around. Steaks, steaks for sandwiches, steaks for making fajitas, steak meat for skewers, steakburgers – you name it!

Check it out here and get ordering for Memorial Day. It’ll be here before we know it!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. I could use at least a day to focus on grilling, relaxing and enjoying my family. There’s always too much blowing and going.

I’m ready for some laying around. How ’bout you?

I just don’t want to forget the most important part – the food!!!
