It all started in 2018. My love of food, grilling, and sports were solidified FAR before that fateful day, October 16, 2018. However, my professional life within the realm did start until then. The Tailgate Foodie food blog was created due to a missing section of the pregame party in which true flavor and great food existed.
Fast forward to July 2020 and the ever-so grand idea to truly bring flavors to the parking lot festivities was hatched. Through the wonder of will power, The Tailgate Foodie, LLC was created. With 5 of the most flavorful seasonings to start, we were on our way.
Fast forward another 2 years to now. We have been “Bringing Gourmet To The Parking Lot” for 2 years and expanded our premium seasonings and bbq sauces exponentially. Our BBQ, grilling, and smoking game has went from a hobby to a profession to an obsession. That is where our book (and soon to be book series/line) come in!
Sharing our obsession with the world is HIGH on our priority list. Whether it is our seasoning line, our bbq sauces, our soon to be realized bloody mary, or our books, we want to share our knowledge with you so you too can “Bring Gourmet To The Parking Lot”.
