Score a Touchdown This Football Season

 

Super Good Chili

Football season can only mean one thing - time to grab the best seat in the house, and we're not talking about at the stadium. In fact, 77 percent of Americans think the best seat in the house is at home in front of an HDTV, according to a recent survey by McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco brand products. Instead of heading to the stadium, keep the tailgate at home and throw a "homegating" party.

The ultimate homegate is not only about the football game, it's about the food. No matter what's happening on the field, the spread can be the real game-changer. In fact, the survey found the following:

  • 78 percent of American adults think good food can make up for a bad game.
  • Americans spend, on average, 42 percent of the game eating or drinking.
  • Over half of Americans (57 percent) voted the grill as the most important appliance when hosting a homegate.

For a homegate touchdown, banish the boring and serve beer-infused chili, which is sure to please all your family, friends and football fans. For other ways to spice up game day, visit www.tabasco.com.
