You can't make a good rack of ribs without mustard paint.
Underrated: Potato skins (prepared properly; thin sliced, crispy, w/butter, salt, pepper and maybe some Boar's Head bacon).
Overrated: Nachos with too much "stuff" on them, rendering the bottom chips flimsy and wet. (this is known as gorpy food).
Stock on the rise: Sliders. Steamed bun preferred. Think: White Castle. Can also find good value in pulled pork sliders.
Stock falling: Boneless wings.
Hall of Fame Appetizer: Cheesecake Factory's Buffalo Blasts. Here's a recipe. If you aren't looking up the number for take-out already, you should be.
If you make only one thing yourself today, let it be: Sausage and cheese bread roll
Speaking of: Do yourself a favor and buy a Big Green Egg.
Beverage selection: I like to start seasonal, and in a nod to the advertisers, get progressively lighter.
Speaking of: Do yourself a favor and become a homebrewer. If you start now, in 30 days you'll be sampling an early-spring seasonal.
Most important thing missing from today's game: Phil Simms. Second place: The New York Football Giants.
If you put only one mass-produced snack food out this year, let it be: Chex Mix.
Cocktail of the day, if you must: Absolut Vanilia with Polar Vanilla Seltzer.
If you've never made flank steak with dry rub, you are missing out. Take a nice flank steak. Totally coat it in your favorite rub. 100% coated and rubbed in. Grill on high heat, 7 minutes per side. Slice. Then have at it. A superlative tailgating option.
Alright, enjoy the game; I am off to play men's league hockey!

Just one suggestion for any smoking - if you don't want to use mustard paint, olive oil works well, too, and has the same property of evaporating without adding or changing the flavor of the meat.
