Yes. A salad. It might not be the manliest thing in the world but it’s damn good. We wanted to start the season off with something light as to not pull a muscle because of all the missed training camps and OTAs in the off season. A sprained wrist can not flip burgers.
I’ve grilled plenty of fruit before but never watermelon. After tasting the salad, I’m sure I’ll be grilling more watermelon.
It’s been awhile since we posted a video, maybe it’s from depression with the Eagles season ending the way they have ended in the past. I’m pretty sure that had a lot to do with it, but whatever the reason is, we have a new video for you from around Christmas. Checkout the background at the end to see Brent’s Christmas village!
In this episode we used Paul Jr the Portable Roadtrip Grill which was given to us from the folks at Coleman. This is the perfect tailgating grill with it’s built in handle, compact size and wheels for easy transportation. Designed by Paul Jr. from American Chopper the grill is outfitted better than most cars with it’s black finish and chrome accents. It also has tool holders and side tables, just like bigger grills and uses small propane (16.4 oz ) cylinders that last up to 1.1 hours on high or 4.5 hour on low.
If you plan on truly tailgating anytime soon and need a portable way to cook your food, the Paul Jr Designs Coleman Roadtrip Grill should be at the top of your list for portable grilling. Look for us to use it more in upcoming episodes of Pigskin Gourmet.
Special thanks to the people from Coleman for letting us use their grill!
Better late than never! With computer problems we were not able to get this and another episode up in time for Thanksgiving. Even though thanksgiving has passed, we still want you to see what we made and what you missed. The recipe was adapted from this Bobby Flay recipe and you will not only learn how to make this delicious turkey on the grill, you will also learn a ton of facts about turkeys throughout the video.
If you’re looking to make a gourmet burger, look no further than the bible of burger making Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries, and Shakes. That’s where we got out recipe for the Bolo Burger. Check out the video to see us make this spanish inspired gourmet burger.
With Fall in full swing, we wanted to take advantage of a good harvest of apples and add a little tailgating twist. If you’ve ever had apple sausage before you will love our version of Grilled Sausage Stuffed Apples. The sweet and savory taste goes along with a football filled Fall afternoon.
We also made a dessert grilled stuffed apple that features pecans, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and more.
This week RO*TEL® was kind enough to send us a few cans of their Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies and Velveeta cheese so we could give their Famous Queso Dip a try. We needed something to dip in the Queso, so we thought, why not have a go at some homemade Philly soft pretzels?
Since we don’t work at the Philly pretzel factory, making a twisted pretzel was out of the question. That’s where pretzel sticks come from. And see, you thought we were just being creative! If you know how to make pretzel twist, by all means, go right ahead and make them! But, for us the sticks work. They may not look like the most photogenic thing before you put them in the oven, but they taste and look good when you take them out.
There is a thin line between bar and tailgating food and this week we were more on the side of bar food, but we cooked it on the grill so in essence it is tailgating food. You see what I did there? Anyway, if you didn’t notice, around Pigskin Gourmet we love bacon wrapped around pretty much anything. While this might not be a main dish for your tailgate, it is a quick flavorful appetizer that will go with a lot of other dishes.
Last week we used Maple Syrup to give our ribs a sweet taste and this week we continue with another sweet ingredient to accompany our Pulled Pork.
The Root Beer Sauce livens up our tender pork sirloin roast and the added chili sauce give it a kick of heat to balance out the sweetness. This is definitely an easy meal that you can start early on game day or even the night before. It’s also great for leftovers throughout the week.
