The Best Part About Tailgating.... (Recipe Included)

.... friends and food of course!!!!!
Wahoo!  LSU continues their undefeated season past Florida!

One thing that separates a good LSU tailgate party from any other team's is our food (there's a reason Louisiana / Cajun restaurants pop up all over the country).
One of my best friends and I are LSU alumni.  Funny that it took us moving to the Carolinas to meet.

And we love LSU tailgating parties!

The kids were decked out in their tiger-wear.  

The food was incredible (of course... it's Louisiana fare which everyone knows is some of the best)

My contribution was the muffulettas.  Now if you've never had a muffuletta and you like those strong flavored deli sandwiches, you MUST make these!
