Mr. Batali bringing his iron chef skills to a tailgate? What's not to love. I have used ideas from this well written and clever book at two tailgates this year, and plan to keep it up through the end of the season. What makes this book so cool is that normally in such books, the cooking is 1. meat 2. fire 3. beer. 4. different beer or add some cilantro. You bring real, tasty and complex but I feel comfortable making it without fear of attack from a less culinarily inclined sort of guy/ in the truck next door (though he was befuddled by the proscuitto-wrapped asparagus (“well that don’t smell like bacon……) Thank you Mario, love the crocs, love the attitude, and especially loved the food.
I bought the book because it was Mario's and I love Mario's cooking. The recipes are excellent not only for tailgating but also for back yarding and for the horse shows and the boating get togethers. I have a grill that is both charcoal and gas so I can make both types of food on one grill. The recipes are very easy to make not expensive and delicious. Having this book takes the guess out of what to take and how much to buy so it's an added tool to my family for cooking out.
I read the reviews on Amazon before I purchased here on Ebay. I received it today and I must state that the great reviews are correct! This cookbook is incredible. Every single dish is do-able and looks great to eat, the pics of the food are amazing and the pics of the drivers/fans/tailgaters are also wonderful! My husband is able to name all the drivers in the pics so if anyone wants to know who someone is (there are not captions for the pics) just email me! I plan to make 3/4 of the items in this book! I am also going to get a copy for my brother. He's gonna love it too. GET this! you won't be sorry.
Great tailgating recipes!

its a great little cook book thats not about the gimmick cooking and silly titles of the meals. This book seems to be much more of a true Batali cook book that just kind of celebrates his fondness of the greatest spectator sport in north america . . . . NASACR!
