Easy Buffalo Tailgate Catering Ideas
Football is finally back in Western New York, and that means our Sundays are booked for the foreseeable future. Whether you head out to the stadium lots at dawn or host a watch party in your own backyard, the pregame is an event all on its own. And we all know the food is just as important as the kickoff.
Putting together a great game day menu usually takes a lot of time and effort. You have to buy the groceries, prep the meat, pack the coolers, and haul a portable grill to the lot. Waking up in the dark to start cooking simply isn’t for everyone. If you want to keep things relaxed this season, here are a few ways to feed your crew without missing the pregame festivities.
Let Someone Else Do the Prep Work
When you look into Buffalo tailgate catering, a simple drop-off package saves you hours of work. You get all the flavor of a classic cookout without having to scrub a grill on Monday morning. We pack our classic BBQ chicken, pulled pork, and homemade sides in heavy-duty aluminum pans.
You just pick the food up on your way to the stadium or have it delivered right to your house. It keeps everything hot, ready to eat, and completely stress-free. Your only job is remembering to bring enough paper plates.
Keep the Heat Locked In
If you bring hot food to the stadium lots, you need a reliable way to keep it warm on a crisp fall morning. A standard plastic cooler is the perfect tool for the job.
Line an empty cooler with a couple of layers of aluminum foil, drop your hot pans of food directly inside, and snap the lid shut. The cooler acts exactly like a portable oven. It traps the steam and keeps your Bills watch party food style meals piping hot for hours. When your friends finally get hungry, you just open the lid and serve.
