It is believed that tailgating started in the late 1800s when the first college football games were played. But today it’s not for football anymore. Tailgating has caught on at most sporting events and even concerts. Chef Jason Hill visits the 2009 Rose Bowl to get some tailgating recipes and some tips from these pros. Before the game, the Rose Bowl parking lot was transformed into an awesome tailgate party, where football fans were busy playing tailgating games and grilling up some great tailgating food. On the hunt for tailgating ideas, I found that the most essential equipment is a portable tailgate grill, table and canopy. A big screen TV, generator and rocking stereo system is also a plus.

This couple said the best barbecuing is done with wood, and they prefer grape wood. My favorite tailgating recipe is a beef tri tip recipe, which I marinate the day before in a Ziplock bag filled with olive oil and spices. When you're read...
