After months of heated rivalries, miraculous plays, and last second wins, the NFL season comes down to one final winner-take-all showdown.

For many of us, that means weeks of planning the ultimate big game bash. The giant flat screen is in place, all of your friends and family have RSVP’d, and the themed cocktail menu is on point. So with so much on the line – not only on the field but in your living room as well – do you really want to be “that guy (or girl)” whose idea of great game day eats is some generic potato chips and a few sub-par delivery pizzas?

Imagine, however, if instead of discussing a favorite play or commercial at work the next day your guests are bragging about your BBQ and grilling skills. “You should have been there…John from accounting literally threw the last rib at the TV at halftime! They were so good I actually rinsed it off and ate it! I even snuck some of their amazing bacon wrapped shrimp out in my jacket pocket for the ride home. Epic party.”

To help get you started, our team at Kingsford® have put together an extensive collection of how-to’s here, covering off any number of great dishes for your big game bash.  There you’ll find steps for creating mouthwatering pulled pork, ribs, brisket, wings, burgers, brats, tri-tip, kebabs, and much more!

Taking it one step further, we’re embracing one of the hottest trends in football party planning – the food stadium. Created by grillmaster Clint Cantwell, our mock stadium greets fans with a huge collection of BBQ and grilling items that are just waiting to be devoured. And while you may not have the time to constructed your own snackadium, there are plenty of pre-made models available on-line and at select retailers. Game on!
