Michigan State Tailgate Menu

We're still working out the menu. But so far, we have:
  • Grilled, marinated sirloin steaks, sliced (possibly w/rolls for steak sandwiches)
  • Satay Chicken
  • Shrimp (or possibly some other seafood thing - yuk)
  • Grilled kielbasa, although I'm looking to shift that to OSU
  • tortellini salad
  • potatoes
Still figuring out salads or veggies and deserts.

Need to update this...

Guilty (of having Bruschetta in October, although it wasn't my idea).

I'm bringing the sirloin steaks and probably not eating anything but the beef. Vegetables aren't food; they're what food eats. And seafood is just plain nasty. I'll probably eat about 3 pounds of beef. Mmmmm.

Give me a dead farm animal any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Unless the dead farm animal ever stepped in a puddle - then it's seafood and off my diet.

So I guess I am guilty of being a savage. There's no denying it. lol
 
I submitted to cooking the filet because some people were feeling beef-deprived.

Which sounds like a pretty serious personal issue, to me, but... I'm not gonna judge.
A filet hardly needs cooking. Wave that bad boy over a flame for a second or two to kill any nasties living on the outside and it's perfectly done.
 
Hudsy....re: a cook off, don't bite off more than you can chew, pun intended. You'd go 0-1 that Saturday, just like Flood most likely will.

It's inadvisable and also inefficient to use the kettle as a smoker at tailgate, especially if one isn't using other grills for other things. And 5 racks is a real stretch.

Any time you'd like to test your theory, I'm easy to find.

5 racks is no more a stretch than one rack if using the upright holder.

And why don't you read the OPs requirements before chiming in with how inefficient it is or isn't.

Just to chime in as someone who used to sell weber products and owns a few of them...When it comes to smoking, you never want to open the lid continuously as each time you pop the lid you lose your cooking heat...each time you do that you add cooking time to your meats that you are smoking...But as for using a rib rack you can easily fit 5 full racks and still have room for other things!!
 
I'm thinking :

Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top
