Football season that is!! I am headed back to the great town of Ames this weekend for the Cyclones first game of the 2011 season. After living in Nebraska for a year, there is truly one thing to appreciate about ISU football. It's not the tradition, or the stadium design, it's not the intensity, or in Bo Pelini's case insanity, but one thing I love about ISU football is the tailgating lots!!! We may not have fans that live, eat, sleep, and bathe in Cyclone football (unless you are my friend Matt) but at least we have plenty of green or concrete space to sprawl out and celebrate football season at it's best!! And what better way to do that than heading to your local grocery store to buy beef!
Lucky for beef producers and the general economy, many teams will share their 2011 kickoff with Labor Day weekend. Traditionally Labor Day weekend is the last surge in sales for steakable subprimals such as the Ribeye, Tenderloin, Sirloin, and Strip Loin. I mean realistically what would a football game be without a juicy steak, salads, and cocktails. Orrr if you are still a college student burgers, chips, and beer. Whatever your forte, make sure you include beef in your tailgating menu or final summer grill-out this weekend. If you are interested in intensifying your beef experience, check out Beef It's What's For Dinner for some amazingly simple beef recipes. I promise you won't be let down.
