THE Tailgating Source

[kiddiedoc]

And, for those who haven't had it -- Drunk Chicken IS BY FAR the best chicken. Try Rendezvous dry rub on the outside (available in Memphis grocery stores and online at www.hogsfly.com).

On the drunk chicken, I've been using Tony catchers butter creole injector and Tony Catcher's Creole Seasoning. A good choice if in a mixed crowd. Can go more traditional cajun if in a crowd that prefers it kicked up more. All available at regular grocery or super Wal Mart. My brother-in-law did the last ones with Spicey cajun/garlic injector. The key is to make sure you inject plenty of marinade in multiple areas of the chicken. Won't be a dry spot. For tail gaiters, inject the chickens the night before, season before and wrap before you leave. All that is left is to get there in plenty of time to grill and eat before game time. The beer steams the inside and the injector and spice rub does the magic. Plugging the neck whole probably reuces cooking time 30 min to 1 hr.

Oh.. kiddiedoc...

being from Memphis are you familiar with a sandwich shop down on Beale, if he still runs it. A college friend opened it up back in the late 80's early 90's. I went to college in Henderson at FHU. Can't remember the name of the shop, but they deliver and stuff around downtown for lunch call in as well. I'm trying to think of his name. We were in the same club, but he was a senior and I was a freshman so he was more of a "I know you." His nickname was Pullstring. Long Story. I know his shop has some FHU stuff hanging around. Sad thing is my memory. I know we'd know each other, but if some of the gang isn't around reminiscing, my recall ability for names is somtimes poor. Without his name or the shop, I guess this is pointless.

awesome thread...now i'm hungry

GVF -- Nothing is jumping out at me as a popular "Sandwich Shop" on Beale. Given, most of the times we were on Beale, we weren't eating, though! Was it BBQ or a deli?

It's been a few years since my stay in Memphis, so I may just be forgetting about something. Maybe you can jog my memory. . .

Kiddiedoc - The name of the Deli still evades me. The owner was Mike Roby, and it was only open for lunch on Beale. It was kinda central on Beale as far as location. If you were only there in evenings and not usually for eating, then you would've never been there. Don't know if he still has it.

[b] 6 oz Coca-Cola, 6 oz of Jack Daniels, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is that for the first quarter, or the first half, cause I am quite sure it will not last the whole game, especially after a win!

Ingredients:
1 tsp. liquid smoke flavoring
1 tsp. salt
2 cups Tennessee Hickory Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce
1 brisket of beef (about 5 lbs.)
1 tsp. dry mustard
Grilled cornbread sticks
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika


Tennessee Beef

Directions:
Heat gas grill to a medium high heat.
Brush brisket with the liquid smoke. Combine the salt and spices in a small bowl and mix well. Rub this into the brisket. Place the brisket on the grill and sear on both sides until well browned - brushing with the Tennessee Hickory Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce while browning.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Place the brisket in a roasting pan. Cover the roasting pan and bake until the brisket is fork-tender, about 3 1/2 hours.

Remove the pan from the oven, and, using 2 forks, pull the meat apart in the pan juices, shredding it coarsely. Heat the Tennessee Hickory Jack Daniel's Grilling Sauce to a boil. Mound the shredded beef onto a platter and spoon the hot sauce over the meat.

Take to the game and serve with the grilled cornbread sticks and some additional sauce on the side.

A bump to the thread (since it's been "de-pinned" -- understandably with Football so far away).

But, also, an idea: If we can get a LOT of recipes and other ideas submitted on here before the fall, I'd be willing to assemble and distribute an "Unofficial Guide to VolNation Tailgating."

Just a thought. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Here's a nice easy complement to your grilled meat. It's hard to screw up, even after a few pregame Toddy's:

SPICY GRILLED POTATO WEDGES

Bake some large potatoes, oven or microwave, the night before the game, but don't overdo it. A little on the raw side works best.

After cooling, slice lenthwise into quarters, leaving the skin on.
Drop 'em all into a big ziplock bag, and pour in:

1/2 cup oil (not olive oil, it'll clump in the fridge)
Onion powder
Garlic (powder or a few minced cloves)
Crushed black pepper
Salt
Cajun seasoning -- I like Tony Chachere's
More crushed cayenne (or hotter) pepper, if desired

Stir and leave the bag in the fridge overnight. Throw it into the cooler the next morning and cook those bad-boys on a low to medium heat grill about 10-15 minutes, turning to brown evenly. Serve with ketchup or sour cream.

anything from Gus's on Front St.

A bump for a request by a newbie. Anyway, it's time to get this thing going. Kickoff is only about 6 weeks away!

Thanks for digging this up. I'll repin it.

I really never drag all the gear to Knox, But will grill before heading out hotdogs. Before i grill them, I take tooth picks and wrap each frank with a piece of bacon.(to hold the bacon on)
Once grilled nice, put them on buns, let cool and usualy wrap in aluminum foil. They make a great snack on the 2 hr ride.

I will add, I have never paid for a pregame meal. All my UT bud's that make games, Insist on getting to Knox and finding a place for steak, ribs, beer. Myself, like me some brew's. But really limit it to very few on game day.

Not go out and wait 30 mins on a table, then rush to the game.

By not "paying" for the pregame, Not even looking have ran across many nice folks kicked back grilling, That while you chat about the big kick off insist your insulting them if you dont eat!

Had some of the best grilled corn on the cobb, ive ever ate with La Tech fans from Monroe last yr.......

[IBleedOrange24/7]

kiddiedoc, I took the spicy grilled potato wedges recipe today, as a snack for myself and daughter.

We loved IT! She isnt much for Hot (spicy in her words) foods.
I didnt really lay off on the black pepper or cajun spice, but did just, dab some garlic powder and easy on the cayenne pepper. I could have used just another stab of it, but she was helping me out and i wanted her to enjoy. I didnt really expect her to ask for 2nd's.

She asked me what they are called? So she could tell her nana, I just called them Smokey treats........

Man keep the recipes coming. Milo and I are going to need these for the games. Hooters is going to get boring after a while lol.
