New Tailgating Toy; Roasting a Whole Pig
Monday, November 28 Team Tailgate is spending the weekend in Seattle for a back to back football game weekend.
After Tailgating with the Huskies and Cougar crew and after the Huskies take the game, we check into the hotel and rub a freshly deceased pig with a 60 garlic clove Mojo Marinade.
Now it’s time for food and drink so our Next stop is Tavern Law.
We grab some spots at the bar and its time for bourbon and Foie Gras!
And How about some Gnocchi topeed with a pile of braised ox-tail?
This fried chicken had some crazy maple syrupy sweetness going on in the batter.
Oh my!!! Burger and Fries!
Again, Brian and Dana make my belly extremely happy. We wandered around Seattle stopping at random spots for random beverages, and eventually stumbled back to our hotel room, and our little piggy roommate.
Sleep, 2 hours… pack pig in car… get to tailgate spot.
We are exhausted, but super excited for our first go around with our new tailgating toy. Behold La Caja Caribe.
We ordered this bad boy online. They make the La Caja China and I guess this is a smaller version or something, but perfect for tailgating. This thing was invented when Chinese railroad workers decided to build these things and put meat in it while they worked. And at the end of the day, they had dinner. So the sun is far from ready to come up but we have a cute little 60 pound pig all racked up for his hot-box.
We rub him down and get the coals started.
It will be a couple hours before we see him again. When the time comes we get to flip him over and take a gander.
After 4 hours, the time came… and here is what is worth waiting for.
Pigs are awesome.
