Let’s say you needed a semi-disposable grill. Much like the $80 tailgating canopy, you might be looking for a tailgating grill in the same price range that you halfway expect to get broken or stolen. So you go to Home Depot and drop $100 on the Brinkman – 2 Burner Gas Grill. And after a couple of uses you realize that the two stock wheels aren’t getting the job done. And where the hell are you supposed to put your beer and cigar when you’ve got plates and tools sitting on the small built-in tables? Well the answer is to pimp your grill like ELYK Innovations. They added two more wheels and a beer and cigar holder that doubles as another place to hang tools. Check their site for details. Before and After:

The Pig Rig is essentially a BBQ restaurant on wheels. This 30 foot trailer features two Stump’s Smokers, a Viking grill and gas range, fridge, freezer, four sinks, power generator, five HD flat screens, and a 20 ft. inflatable screen. Most people don’t have houses outfitted with that much equipment. Theoretically you could get one of these customized by Horton Haulers for your own personal tailgating needs. If that’s a luxury you can afford you probably also tailgate outside the football team’s weight room or practice facility that bears your family name. For the rest of us, we can just hire Que N View for one huge tailgating blowout a year. If you have a huge group of tailgaters hiring Que N View to cater is certainly the easiest way to feed the masses. And then of course there’s also the wow factor of the trailer.
I met the owner of the Pig Rig, Charlie Hellem, because he was the instructor for my BBQ Basics cooking class at the Viking Store. Charlie has won several rib competitions and is a really cool, laid back, and knowledgeable teacher. Whether you want to take your first steps into smoking meats or just want to brush up on some grilling basics, this class can help. At $90 it’s a bit steep, but I’d also say that I ate about 2 pounds of meat and had 4-5 beers which would cost you $35-50 at a restaurant. It’s not a bad gift to ask for from a mother or wife. So if you live within an hour or two of Atlanta I suggest checking out renting the trailer or taking a grilling class.

Apparently P. Diddy has a new contract to promote Ciroc Vodka which is infused with french grapes. This is generally something I wouldn’t give a damn about. But when the man of many names happens to be doing promotions at my liquor store of choice, I take notice. You can check out the full photo album of Puffy’s appearance at the Tower Package on Piedmont Rd. A few things caught my attention
– I noticed this on Friday at the store and once again looking through the pictures. It’s weird how many of the employees I recognize. If nothing else, this is a bad sign for my financial well being and my liver.
– I imagine that P. Diddy also makes many of his liquor decisions based on price like i do. Though that would be for totally different reasons. Sean John probably leans towards the most expensive thing he can find. I however keep a log on my phone of the different prices at stores all over town.
– Does Mr. Combs tip the guys who help bring out a keg, boxes, ices, etc. to your car? For some reason this never occurred to me until recently and now I feel like a cheap bastard.
– Is Ciroc a really bland vodka that’s based on marketing not taste and profits off it’s connections with a now discontinued top shelf vodka?

Whether you spotted them on John Daly, the Norwegian Curling team, around campus on gameday, or at the links…. you’ve probably seen Loudmouth Pants before. Thanks to South Bend Seven for helping us put a brand name with these ridiculous pants. I’ve noticed a trend towards the more outrageous in tailgating pants lately and these certainly fit the bill. In addition to the pants, Loudmouth also has coats for the guys and skirts and short shorts for the ladies. The color combinations cover the tailgating needs for many major programs like Florida, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, and North Carolina. And for the Bama fans out there they have houndstooth ties, coats, pants, shorts, skirts, and even divot tools. To see if they have your school’s colors check out the site.

Most of you who have been to other tailgating sites or been on a college football message board have seen the following photo of what appears to be two UGA fans.
What you rarely see is the second photo that reveals that one girl is actually wearing a black Texas Tech jersey. Neither logo appears to be photoshopped. So what’s going on here? Are either of them fans or did they just grab matching red and black jerseys at the store? Are they an apartment divided? Do they make flags or license plates for that?
