Q: How many other parents of Providence do you see tailgating?
I would guess half the parents of the different teams typically participate in some kind of tailgating, more or less, depending on the importance of the game.
Q: What meals do you make for tailgates?
Our favorites are chili, grilled buffalo chicken, taco dip and usually cookies or brownies.
Q: Why are those the chosen meals?
We used to grill during the tailgate. But with everyone’ s busy schedule these days, it’ s easier to prepare the night before and then bring the food in crock pots and warmers. Our favorites seem to be enjoyed by most of our crowd. They are easy to transport and the cleanup is not too bad. Although I do miss the smell of grilling out sometimes.
Q: What’ s your signature dish?
Probably our grilled buffalo chicken tenderloins and our taco dip.
