Emeril Tailgates

Detroit Lions superfan Michael Banks and his wife, Rona, turn their city's famous Middle Eastern dishes into easy to grill lamb meatball skewers, garlic flatbread, and homemade tzatziki sauce.

Buffalo Bills superfan Lindsey Kszos takes inspiration from her city's famous wings with chile-glazed duck wings served with blue cheese crème fraîche, shaved celery and grape salad, and Buffalo chicken and white bean chili.

Boston native and New England Patriots superfan Kim Mello joins to create savory New England treats with a New Orleans twist, spicing up a classic lobster roll with some crystal hot sauce aioli and pairing chorizo with clams on the grill.

Denver superfan Catherine Highland, aka The Bronco Babe, grills up dishes to honor the great state of Colorado, including blue cheese-stuffed bison sliders with bacon drunken onions, angels on horseback, and grilled oysters on the half shell.

Dallas Cowboys superfan Jesse Prado, aka Big Brother, creates some Tex-Mex barbecue with a Louisiana kick, including slow-cooked brisket tortas with smoky chipotle salsa, charred tomatillo, and fresh chunky guacamole.

For a Houston style tailgate, dazzle your friends with a winning Tex-Mex combo of grilled jalapeno poppers, chili con queso, and ancho rubbed flap steak.
