Perhaps the most shared aspect NFL football fans have with one another is their culture of food.
Apart from the tradition of the tailgate—where food is slowly cooked the night before in a Crock-Pot or grilled over charcoal in the company of friends and family in a parking lot—the food fans across America purchase in their NFL stadium, order at the pub, or order-in for home football-watching consumption is a one-eighty to our country’s rich culture of eating good, and as of recent, sustainable food.
To put blame on the fans and their harrowing food choices would be unfair, for the fans are too busy cheering for their team, and it’s their day off, after all—who wants to cook?
