To keep you in the game, professional football legend, Emmitt Smith and the National Pork Board have huddled together to create some touchdown tips. Read on for highlight-worthy tips on ways to win BIG at your next tailgating party.

End Zone Pointers
Not sure on what recipes to feature in your starting line-up? Keep from fumbling this tailgating season with these “Blitzing” tips for an all-star menu:

• “Flavor Hall of Fame” – Get in the “end zone” by adding a delicious sauce to finish off your tailgating dish or a spicy dry rub to enhance the flavor of your meat before cooking. Both are easy to create and very economical flavor boosters. For Texas-style flavor, like Emmitt’s “Lone Star-Style Smokin’ Spicy Ribs,” use a spicy dry rub for delicious flavor in every bite.

• “Menu Playbook” – Make sure to include a variety of dishes for your hungry fans at your tailgating party. Planning a spread with everything from pork kabobs to Emmitt’s “Texas Barbecue Pork Chop Wraps” ensures no one will be sidelined by hunger. 

• “Points for Protein” – Lean pork cuts such as pork tenderloin and pork chops make great tailgating companions. Consider passing these healthy indulgences during your next game day gathering.

• “Regional Pride” – Put a regional stamp on any favorite football snack. From North Carolina pulled pork to Memphis-style pork ribs, it’s easy to add regional flair and show support for your favorite team, no matter where you call your culinary home.
