Hot Take: Gourmet Gameday Season II

Our Hot Take on how to throw a football party that goes beyond pigs-in-a-blanket & football-shaped serveware. With an inspired A-team of recipes, decor inspo, outfit ideas & more, your gameday is guaranteed to win.

The Vibe

Old school tailgating is back! Throw on a vintage football crew neck (with a collar underneath?), lay out the plaid blankets & hang the pennant banners because the vibes are retro, preppy & 1950s collegiate.

The Food

Beer in a cooler out back is a football gameday necessity (peep the vintage cooler finds below). But in our opinion, so is an elevated batch cocktail.

Seasoned Snack Mix
Dill Dip and Potato Chips
Mini Baked Potatoes
Mini French Dips
Cheesy Chorizo Stuffed Mini Peppers
Sandwich Skewers
Boujee Sliders
Green Goddess Veggie Board
Caramelized Onion Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip is a crowd favorite, we’ll admit it, but we think it’s time to add a little spice. These elevated classics not only satisfy the craving for gameday grub but manage to do so with a little finesse.
