Food for USF Tailgate

[CTMike]

I know we still have a good 4 hours of tailgating if we can hustle but I'm tempted to leave the grill at home Saturday and just grab breakfast sandwiches or bagels on the way in and get right to drinking. What's everyone doing?

Get into the game 30 minutes before kickoff and then tailgate after the game for a few hours.

The best quick grab breakfast sandwiches in the area are at the Sams convenience store next to Langan VW in Glastonbury. It'll be interesting to see what they do about tailgating post game, that will likely dictate what we do.

OT: best gas station cuisine in CT

Great idea just flip the day, game first tailgate second

Considering flipping the tailgate but trying to figure out how to keep raw meat cold enough until the afternoon. LOTS of ice in a cooler I guess.

Get making... Ditch the Ice, Make These DIY Polar Bear Tubes for Your Cooler Instead

We grill after the games all the time. Lots of ice. Food should be fine

Still doing breakfast and screwdrivers before game. Probably burgers and sides after. The change in kick off is only altering timing of events, as I currently understand it. Not the overall plan.

Regular not going along with a couple of others so I will be stopping for breakfast sandwiches on the way up with a couple of cold ones

Cold pizza. Bloody Mary's seem logical but that an acid reflux combo that's a bit too much.

If there was ever a time where crappy mainstream beer was acceptable, Saturday morning would be it. Cold pizza and Mich Ultra.

Could always stop at an ice house and grab a half pound or a pound of dry ice. Keeps it cold and no puddles inside the cooler after the game ;-)

A good insulated cooler of ice should more than do the trick though.

Live in glastonbury but never been to sams. May check it out Saturday, although I always enjoy a breakfast sandwich from Patty Cakes

Still doing some food, breakfast sandwiches (bacon, egg and cheese) on a hard roll from Harvest Bakery in Bristol.

Then doing some Hot Sausage Balls before we head into the stadium. Plus lots of beer... and bloody marys!

Found a recipe online - its basically jimmy dean hot sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and Bisquick rolled into 1" balls and baked on Friday night- then we're going to re-heat them in a tin pan on the grill

Wrong. 4 corners Mobil in Brookfield is better
