“Nothing like tailgating on the Bayou. LSU is my personal favorite. Maybe it’s my penchant for the spicy stuff. But there’s nothing like sampling a little gumbo, a little jambalaya and then diving face-first into a shrimp boil. The aroma just walking through the parking lot to Tiger Stadium stays with you the whole day, and the LSU fans get there early and stay late.”
“Walking among the tailgaters here is like strolling through one of Emeril Lagasse’s restaurants. RW once joined a group serving jambalaya, duck and oyster gumbo, stuffed quail, deer sauce picante, wild duck, cochon de lait, Cajun sausage, crawfish etouffee, rabbit, alligator stew and marinated pork tenderloin. And that was for a non-conference game.”
“As the hours roll by, the noise of LSU tailgating builds. I walk around a bunch of tailgates being introduced to all. In minutes I’m eating fried oysters, shrimp, alligator and crawfish. All of them are delectable. This has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and any selfrespecting sports fan HAS to go to a game in Tiger Stadium.“
