I just wanted to say thanks to the Mayor for calling me and telling me about Dan Steinberg's future article on tailgate food.
Today's post has a special on Redskins vs Ravens Tailgate food and they picked B-more over us. If you like chance of catching an STD's while you eat your food then I guess they are the obvious choice.
Here's an excerpt from the article
REDSKINS
Ted Abela's tailgate off one of the main thoroughfares leading into FedEx Field requires $400 a week for supplies and about eight hours of shopping for deals on the Saturdays before game days. Abela uses several classic tailgating gimmicks, such as a weekly food theme based on the opponent (i.e., tuna steaks against the Miami Dolphins, deep-fried turkeys against the Philadelphia Eagles) and a functioning cooler mounted on a functioning scooter.
But the biggest oohs and ahhs are often reserved for dessert: county fair-style funnel cakes, deep-fried for five minutes in 325-degree canola oil and then liberally dusted with confectioners' sugar. Abela, 28, of Woodbridge, said he honed his technique from "years of just messing around" and has been making the fried desserts for four years; he often hops on the cooler scooter to deliver funnel cakes to friends in far-flung corners of the FedEx parking lots. He'll make several dozen cakes each week, using a batter mix he orders from a carnival-supply company.
"Unbelievable," said Kerry Pennington of Roanoke when he happened upon Abela's operation at a recent game. "I've never seen funnel cakes at a tailgate."
