We're In The Thick Of Football Season. Time For Deep-Fried Snacks!

If you happen to be a Kansas City Chiefs or Alabama Crimson Tide fan, the football season has been going pretty great for you. Giants or Florida Gator fans, you should probably just pack it up and start thinking about baseball season. Missouri? Hey, nice job Missouri! Arkansas Razorbacks? Nice one with that new coach. But the point here is that we're smack in the middle of football season, which means you may have already exhausted your short (though reliable) repertoire of tailgating recipes. Brats are fine. But brats for the 7th straight Saturday is not the best move. We're here to help with 15 crunchy, straight out the fryer winning recipes. Because nobody wants to eat that soggy plate of nachos, even six IPAs in.
