"tailgate party" news and stories

Imagine leaving your office with your co-workers, trying to decide where to have lunch, and in one swift James Bond-like maneuver you convert your briefcase into a portable grill. Lunch is served. I do have to ask just how portable you really need want your grill to be, but I am sure it is convenient for camping and holidays. Actually, when I look at this I can't help but think tailgate party.

According to Gizmodo, the grill is made of pressed steel and folds out to reveal a 45 x 30cm cooking area. It'll run you $40 on it's own, or for an extra $10 you can acquire the black carry-case with shoulder-strap.

Ok, it's actually a lot farther than 106 miles to Chicago from where I sit, but let's get past the semantics, shall we? As Sarah mentioned last night, the annual Slashfood battle of the Super Bowl cities has begun and I'm pretty sure I drew the longer straw. Game on, Sarah!

I think it's a given that certain well-known foods from Chicago will be making my list (really, how could they not?) but I'm working on mixing it up as well. Expect to see not only the finest the Windy City has to offer, but also some original creations I've come up with that were inspired by the Chicago Bears themselves.

So Bears fans, get yourselves ready for a week-long tailgate party. We'll have food, we'll have drinks, we'll have dessert. By the time Sunday rolls around, you should be completely ready to throw a Chicago-style Super Bowl party yourself!
