Extra Point BBQ Rub - the best! Sep 21, 2008
By kiwanissandy
"Go Bucks!"
I made the extra point barbecue rub and it was delicious. I've used it on ribs and pork chops, it's been great on both! My other favorite was the Midfield BBQ Sauce, it's made with V-8 juice (I use the spicy hot), yum-yum.
The menus are geared toward the names of the teams. For example, the food suggested for an Arizona Cardinals game is suited for the southwest cuisine. So all food suggested is grilled avocados, catfish tacos, loaded cornbread casserole, etc.
The food suggested for a Chicago Bears game is Italian Sausage Soup, Tofu eggless egg salad sandwiches and lettuce wedge salad. There are also other suggested appetizers, desserts, entrees, etc.
The menu suggested for a Minnesota Vikings game is baked brie with chutney and bacon, BBQ shrimp toast, and grilled tuna sandwiches and chipotle. Certainly not your typical tail gate food.
The Cincinnati Bengals page talked all about the Cincinnati chili that Cincy is famous for...but then didn't provide a recipe for it. A true gameday party would have "3 way's" available.
The mac and cheese soup was awesome. We just loved it.
There are limited pictures, 16 or so in the center of the book so you don't get much guidance for presentation or what the finished dish should look like. The pages are thick and glossy so book would make a great gift. I agree with the other reviewer that if you can get the original game day family cookbook, it's got more recipes that 80's tailgaters would be more familiar with. These are good just for a new generation.
I tried the BBQ fruit rub but couldn't get anyone to eat it. I don't know if the proportions are correct in the cookbook but it was way too much nutmeg for our tastes so the kids just preferred the plain fruit. Perhaps I made it wrong or our tastes were not prepared for the nutmeg.
There are also menus (appetizer, entrees and desserts) with all recipes provided for Draft Day, Opening Day, Super Bowl, and Pro Bowl. There are also drink recipes provided. It's truly a complete gameday cookbook.
Overall a good cookbook and a great gift. But don't expect the tried and true tailgate recipes you'd expect, get the NFL family cookbook for that. Then add this cookbook for the more modern recipes with a flair.
If you want checklists and other tailgating tips check out the website www.tailgating.com it's a great website.

Great, Easy to Tackle Recipes! Jan 05, 2009
By Erik
"Creative Director/Host"
We found this cookbook when we were looking for January posts for our website. Although we are not football fans, we ARE food fans...but this book is really interesting! The recipes are fantastic, the photographs are great, and the content is really interesting, both about the teams and the cities they represent! This book would make a great gift, not just for the football enthousiasts, but high school/college grads, fathers, grandfather's, cheerleaders, or anyone who likes to host game parties or even likes simple, good, food. As always, to really review the book, we tried a recipe, Creamy Coleslaw, page 195, and it was not only easy, but also delicious! It may well become one of our favorite coleslaw recipes! To view the whole review, and our picture of the Creamy Coleslaw, go to our website...Enjoy!
