BBQ and Football: The Perfect Pair for Tailgating

Did you know that tailgating and football have been going hand-in-hand since the very first college football game in 1869? Fans have been gathering to celebrate the game and enjoy good food long before stadiums had fancy food options. And what better way to bring that tradition into fall than with some mouthwatering BBQ from Chad’s?

Whether setting up your tailgate at the stadium or hosting a cozy football party at home, nothing says “game day” like delicious smoked meats and sides. Chad’s BBQ has everything you need for the ultimate football feast—whether you’re cheering for your team in the parking lot or from your living room couch. And the best part? You can order ahead and grab it all on your way!
