Official Jan. 10th Panthers/Cardinals Tailgate Thread

[Bo In Monroe]

I think we should be more diligent about screening everybody that goes through the line especially this tailgate. When I stand in the line there are usually only a few people that I don't know but I can't be there throughout all the serving time. While charging per plate sounds like a good idea....

1. Many people often give more than what we would charge.

2. Charging for food means you have to get inspected by the health dept., then a business license, then state taxes, etc.

3. I'd hate to have $10 make somebody who wanted to come down and and hang with us not do it as a result of the $10 per person. That would be $40 for me and my family. Most of the time we don't do this high end fare. We've always welcomed anybody who wanted to come. It may actually reduce the # of people who show up and we've always been very welcoming.

I think between making sure everyone going through the line is known by someone, and know that they just don't show up, load up, then take their food somewhere else, and by maybe doing smaller portions to ensure everything gets eaten on the plate (then you come back for 2nds or 3rds) that we can still serve this high end fare and still responsibly welcome all. What we've done has worked pretty well for the most part but there's always room for improvement.

Plus, I want to have fun on gameday and don't want anybody complaining that we ran out of potato salad when they show up a half hour before kickoff! lol

I agree.

Well I'm going to be meeting somebody for the first time there that I assume is a normal at these events. If the normal donation is $10, then that's no problem with me.

It's amazing how some people really want to make this complicated when we are just trying to raise funds for the needy.

[9Lives]

This poo is getting waaayyyyyy too complicated........

Everybody just show up, meet some new friends, enjoy the old ones we already have, get some loving in one of the Porta Johns, have some terrific eats, fall in love, wrestle with someone if you like, share a icy beverage or two amongst some of the best people you'll ever meet, fart, skip, jump, dance, listen to music, enjoy watching the other fools around you, and just enjoy your fuking self! DAMN!

You won't eat any food, anywhere, any better, for what we charge....FREE!

So come on down, just have some fun, and donate to a good cause, and root our Panthers on to the Super Bowl babyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!

:cheers2:

I'll work security...so bring your toy money you cheap bastards or I'll break your skulls on the sidewalk!

[Murph]

If my 2 cents is worth anything, I trust Mush to run the tailgate however he sees fit.

To keep the prime rib hot we may just end up having it served at Ranucci's grill to keep it hot. This should keep people from loading up a side of beef then leaving or getting too much then not eating it.

Also, we can't keep this food out all day so maybe we won't serve the high end fare until later like 5 or 6 pm time frame.

We'll bring more tables so that some may be able to sit down to eat instead of standing, and we have roughly 60 steak knives we'll break out for this too.

[Go To Girl]

That's always been one of the things that impressed me most during the high end tailgates mush - the real steak knives...

It doesn't take much to impress me though.

[SteveSmith_for_Prez]

damn, you guys go all out. steak knives? really?

[Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ]

and Au Jus.

[Scrumtrilescent]

How does one cut a steak without a steak knife?

[9Lives]

Teeth, or pocket knife....your choice.

Has already been stated there will be knives there. :cheers2:

[Murph]

Wait a minute. I'm co sponsoring a tailgate that has tattoorhino, Panthro and knives in attendence?

Does anyone else see a big red flag here?

About 3 years ago Scrum bought up a bunch of steak knives from this place that got shut down due to E Coli. They opened up the restaurant after theE Coli incident but business went off the deep end and they closed shop.

Got them for like .10 each and we've used them for 3 years now at tailgates with nobody getting sick.
