Chicken Fajitas anyone?

The last tailgate a few weeks ago.

We are in the middle of a 3 week lull, I'm jonesing, till the next home game on Monday night.:-)

Marinated boneless thighs grill on my harrow disc wok. A little beer splashed in to deglaze the pan. Very simple.

I love this pan. It's at least 30" and I can cook all kinds of food. Alot quicker to set up and cook then my grill, though the grill makes the trip quite often.

Sometimes I have both.

We've done Paella and Jumbalaya in the pan along with Cajun shrimp and other seafood dishes and Philly Cheesesteaks.

Grilled steaks, hamburgers, beef fajitas, chicken, Shiskabobs and Satays and Tandoori Lambchops.

Surf and Turf with grilled 2" filets and boiled live Maine lobster.

Also bring the stock pan when it gets colder and have served 3 different kinds of Chili and Gumbos. The Chili Verde is always a big hit. MMMMMM!2464058.jpg

Looks nice... what team??

My tailgate now averages 150 people, a tow in grill, and two guys who do all the cooking and buying food for everyone. We have a great time, and send the chefs to the bowl game every year on us. Plus of course we pay to offset the cost.

Go Jackets. (GT)

Houston Texans!

Houston was rated the #1 NFL city for tailgating in Forbes Traveler. There is some serious cooking going on here during gameday. Alot of competition cook-off teams and pros going at it and cooking some great food.

We've been invited to join many tailgate teams but wife and I like to remain independant and enjoy with friends who show up or come by.

Was challenged to a cook-off by a pro team for the MNF game against the Titans. They were doing a seafood gumbo and wanted to put it up against my seafood paella.

Just got an email from them saying they wouldn't be able to do the game due to a catering engagement.

That's good. Parella is a bit labor intensive and now I can do something simple and enjoy the party.

Night game tailgating is crazy here in H-town. 😉

seaborn,

What are you using as a burner under the disc? Turkey fryer burner?

Stainless Turkey fryer stand. Has a 2.5" deep retaining ring that the fryer/stock pot fits in but acts like a wok ring for the disc.

Used to put it on my Chevy tailgate to cook. With the F150 it'd be chest high so it's on the ground this year til I figure out or get a good stable base table/surface that won't be easily bumped into. Got to consider the 'drunk' factor since there are always plenty of drunks that come visit.

^ The pan weighs 20+ lbs so it's not going to fall over.

A friend who has a rig/derrick co. made it. He was having a BBQ at his house awhile back and he was cooking his Vadalia peanut shrimp in this pan. It was good.

I said I had to have one and he'd been promising he'd have one for me. I took him to a game and told him to bring his pan. After tailgating he told me to keep it.

Nice since I didn't have to season a new one.

Cool. Thanks for the info.

It's just a plow disc that they welded up, ground and burnished the hole in the center and added some, what looks like rebar, handles to, right? Or did they do more to it than that?
