Synopses & Reviews
Forget the foie grass and the wine. We're talking about authentic, stick-to-your-ribs football food. Slabs of barbecured risbs cooked long and slow, Texas style, Texas style. Sizzling bratwurst grilled to perfection, Wisconsin style. Maybe a grilled sticky bun crowned with ice cream fresh from Penn State's world-famous creamery. Or a big slice of layer cake sculpted to look like Ohio State's horseshoe-shape stadium. All washed down, of course, with one of those great cocktails that Florida and Georgia fans are justly famous for mixing to celebrate their annual clash. Sound tempting? Well, dig in to ESPN GameDay Gourmet, a one-stop source for expert advice on the ultimate tailgate party. Inside you'll find 75 easy-to-follow recipes from the nation's most hallowed college football meccas, a rich mix of history and tradition, helpful cooking tips, and fun food facts, served with a double dollop of ESPN humor.

With an introduction by Mike Golic and contributions from the ESPN College Gameday crew (Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso), ESPN GameDay Gourmet is the perfect playbook for every autumn Saturday and a foolproof way to jump-start your taste buds while fueling your pals for the many showdowns ahead.
