Tailgating: It's a tradition as old as sitting in the back of a truck 4 hours before kickoff.
Whether you're just hanging out with friends before the big game, or getting to the Rise Against show super-early to catch a glimpse of those oh-so-cool peta2 staffers setting up their booth, there's never been a better time to show people just how delicious and fun vegan BBQ's can be!

So what do you need to tailgate vegan style? Here are some must-have items:
- A solid grill (or an engine to cook on, if you're hardcore)
- Some BBQ-friendly mock meats (think Tofurky sausages, Gardenburger riblets, faux chicken sandwiches, etc.)
- Liquid Smoke! This single ingredient could make or break your BBQ, so don't forget it!
- A cooler full of your favorite drinks (for me, that means vegan root beer floats!)
- The new vegan Doritos!
- Friends (hey, that's what message boards are for!)
So remember, even if you can't tell the difference between a football and a falafel, doesn't mean you can't pre-game with the best of 'em.
Go local sports team go!
