John Madden-I salute you! I grew up listening and watching you coach and provide excellent commentary on NFL games throughout my life! I always wanted a cookbook that dealt with those wonderful tailgates that you displayed on your TV shows, but never got a chance to give recipes! Thanks for "filling in the BLANKS"!!! You are a great man and I love this cookbook! ed saunders jr. Nashville, TN

While many of the receipes are for large groups, the basic ingredients are here, including humor and barbecue tips for both novice and top gun. The review of other stadium and facilities for those who want to travel with their team let you know what to expect in Seattle or Dallas, for instance, and to me, that is worth the price of the book alone. Last year I gave the book to many of my male and female friends as a Christmas gift.

Typical Jon Madden. Big grills, big meats, and big dishes are what this book is all about. The roughly 100 recipes come from authentic and experienced tailgaters that have brought vigorous American life to the lots and for years, including the big man himself. The original chefs all have a bio and a their recipes a story.

John Madden has done a great job of collecting some great recipes from around NFL stadiums where tailgating has become an art and a tradition. His no nonsense, just tell it like it is, book gives great recipes with entertaining sidelights about people who tailgate and love to grill. Reading through the recipes is also helpful for the beginner as tips abound from John and others who helped make the book possible. This is a book for people who love to cook outside, and love to cook beef and pork. Good chicken recipes and soups also. It may not be the best recipe book for vegetarians and side salad nuts, but for most meat eating people, it's the greatest! Whether you listen to John as an announcer of football games or not, you'll appreciate his good advice and candor on FOOD.
