Tailgating tales: UH vs. Central Arkansas - 9.5.09

Ahh, football season is here again! Wives and girlfriends around the nation mourn, but it is a time for men to gather and cheer on their favorite team, reminisce about the glory days, look forward with optimism about the fortunes of the season, and most of all, cook food in a crammed parking lot. Yes folks, tailgating is in full swing.

After toiling with a cheapie charcoal grill last season, I decided to toil with a cheapie gas grill this season.

I will have to admit that I was nervous - not for the quality of cooking, mind you. Rather, it was the fact that I had to trust a $20 propane grill made in China to not explode in my face that had me uneasy.

Starting off with the basics. Hot dogs, toasty buns and steak. Steak rub was Hawaiian salt and... um... other stuff.

Gotta be patient with the steaks. Don't constantly open the lid and poke and flip. You'll lose valuable heat and extend cooking time which might lead to dry steaks.

Steak done right. Nice color. Moist. Ono.

What do you do when SOMEBODY forgets to bring the rice? ... Steak dog! Ok ok to be fair everybody forgot about the rice.

Mmmmmmm Kalbi. Sizzle sizzle baby. You can practically smell it.
