Week 1 Home Tailgates and menus

Recommended Posts

Catch a bus in front of my apartment at 12:15, arrive at sports bar by 12:40, order my mango wheat ale (not a blue moon, this stuff kinda looks like MTN dew, and is phenomenal), wait for opening kickoff, start chugging until opening kickoff play is over, then I drink casually the rest of the game with a maximum 5 drink limit since I have to work the next day. Probably get me a pack of cigarettes for a pregame smoke and a halftime smoke... Then won't smoke again until the next game vs the phins.

Food?

Great thread.  I hope all of you having parties are either doing that within your “bubble” or being safe about it.  Don’t let football season be the reason for spikes.

 

It will just be me and my wife this Sunday, and possibly my mom.  Going to Wegman’s Saturday to load up on some “hometown” goodies.  We’ll do wings on the grill along with some Sahlen’s dogs.

 

Oh, and of course I’ll wake up to a mimosa or three.

 

Haven’t been this excited for the season opener since 2019.

You are all gentlmen of top taste. My experience is different than most since I am in the middle of Australia. I seriously think I might be the only Bills fan on the continent. Most games during the season air live at 2am-3am here so having a real big cook out with guests isn't really an option. I do have a few food items I only make on game day during the season to keep them special. This Sunday will be a pepper and egg sub with plenty of hot sauce, home made bean dip and an assorted snack platter for dipping like corn chips, veggies and jerky. Since I am supposed to drive to an appointment at 10:30am I'll have to limit my drinking to a sixer of Foster's with a few Pall Malls because I just can't drink without a couple of cigarettes.

Can you get NFL Gamepass there?

Amazing!!!! 
 

I literally looked up “best buffalo wings in Binghamton” and the second option was KFC. 

 

You sir, have turned this frown, upside down. 

 

if you are there for more than one meal you should seek out a Chicken Spiedie sub too - try Lupos Spiedie and Rib Pit

Not to derail the thread but watching the game live is better. It feels more dramatic to me and at least I can post about the game online.

I agree... That's why certain weeks I make it a point to go to sports bars as opposed to just staying home and streaming the game. Certain weeks I won't risk buffering. Division rivals, and major Superbowl Contenders.

I’m considering a trip to the new Anchor Bar that opened about 20 minutes north of us in Kennesaw, GA.  Sadly, Duff’s about 40 minutes south has closed. I preferred Duff’s

 

 

Interesting.  Here in Rochester there were two anchor bars that after maybe a year or so both closed.  There is one Duffs (that I know of anyway) that seems to be doing well.

Maybe Rochester wing eaters have a more discerning taste for wings than people in GA. ;).  But I actually had no idea either chain made it out of NY!

I suspect the Kennesaw Anchor Bar will suffer the same fate as the ones in Rochester. Not because it’s “bad”, but because most restaurants fail eventually. One thing they have going for them is nearby Kennesaw State University with just north of 35k enrollment. I hope that helps them survive.

I’ll be in a hotel room in Binghamton for work. I’m not thrilled and neither are my kids. 

A former Road Warrior expresses his condolences. I got to say.. Robb Riddick was the best short yardage runner ever. He moved the pegs or scored every time.

Coffee with Baileys and a bong hit of some tasty sativa.  Switch to bloody marys.  Then switch to 14th Star Maple Breakfast Stout.  Then switch to Miller Lite for the game.  Tequila shots for Bills touchdowns!

Wow! You have alcohol down to a science. You augment with a bong hit.

I did some time in Guam, while in the service. Same timezone give or take. During the Superbowl years. Good times. I've lost my VHS tapes of those games.

Wife makes homemade sausage gravy and biscuits with bacon and eggs for breakfast.  Typically we get so stuffed at breakfast, we don’t eat again until halftime except for chips and dips.

 

Usual apps are pigs in a blanket (fav of kids) and buffalo chicken wing dip.  Making a white chicken chili in the crock pot for dinner with jalapeño cornbread.

 

Go Bills!

Bills flag went up this morning. I replaced the New Zealand "All Blacks" (a.k.a. NZ's national rugby team) flag with the free giveaway Bills flag from 2019 St. John Fisher training camp, #neverforget . 

 

Food will be homemade wing dip (both a vegan, cauliflower batch, and a standard version), slow-cooked overnight, and seasoned with home-grown, pesticide-free cayenne peppers, and hops, for a citrus hint. Roasted poblanos with wild rice, chips, and booze, booze, booze.

I normally make no special food plans for Bills games--I'm too wired and tied into the game to think about food--but this sounds like a good idea for Sunday!

 

I will grill something special for lunch at halftime I think, with all the prep work done pre-game.

 

Maybe some salmon fillets with fresh marjoram and rosemary on top.

 

And a little side salad of arugula and radicchio with a freshly whipped up vinaigrette.

 

I'm making myself hungry.  I'm going to do this!

I’ve lost 12 pounds in two weeks so there will be less of me to go around! 😃 

What was your trick for losing 12 pounds in 2 weeks?


That's a lot.  It's taken me several months to get rid of about 15 pounds.

I switched my diet to vegan and it’s been FANTASTIC! Still eat great foods but feel better and, after leaving my oncologist today, it’s doing great on that front, too. 
 

Also BP is lower and feel much better. I’ve even figured out how to make a vegan pizza that is stellar!

 

Alas, I will miss wings...but I’ll keep this up for a few months and then have some prior to our SB run!!! 😃

Some great menus here! 

 

I got nothin’ as I plan to be busy scrambling to find a stream for the game. No luck yet. If I can’t find one, Dave & Busters is 2 blocks away for beer, wings & Philly cheesesteak

 

btw, y’all have been no help at all in our ‘how to stream the game’ links. Thanks for nothin!😉
