[Read about why this concentrated liquid seasoning is a global phenomenon. →]( A Note From Our Test Cooks [Chili Cheese Dogs; Sam Block's Headshot]( Tailgating Season Sam Block, Digital Test Cook Football season is upon us which calls for one of my all–time favorite occasions: tailgating. Sure, there’s the passing and the kicking and the whistles. But the fun really starts in the parking lot a few hours before the game. All you need is good food, a chair, a cooler full of refreshments, and tastefully rowdy company. My friends and I have spent many football afternoons gathered in the stadium parking lot. On goes a tailgate-worthy playlist and out comes a refreshing beverage. We’ll often “kick off” the day with a big batch of [Bloody Marys]( or spicy [Micheladas](. Something to whet our appetite while we get the game-day food ready. Our tradition is to treat the feast potluck-style, or as we like to call it, [Slow Cooker]( Sundays. Everything from [barbecue ribs]( to [pulled pork]( to [mac and cheese](. Perfect for keeping us full and warm on a crisp fall afternoon. When the [portable grill]( ignites, it’s time for hot dogs. They’re handheld and the toppings are so customizable! I’ll often opt for simplicity: [sweet relish]( [chili]( or a bright, crisp [grilled cucumber](. (Seriously.) Lately, though, I’ve been really into thinly sliced onions, spicy jalapeños, and cream cheese. It’s almost like a hot dog and jalapeño popper combo. They’re commonly referred to as [Seattle–style dogs]( but they are so delicious . . . . . . and I’m a Philly fan, so that’s saying a lot. (Go Birds.) Members get every recipe, review, and video.
