What goes together like hamburgers and buns, or ketchup and mustard? Football and tailgating, of course!
Whether it’s an all out party at ISU or a quiet show of support at Central, tailgating is an essential part of football culture. Allen, Volk, Glenn and Fogt all agree burgers and brats are a must-have item. But perhaps you’re looking for a new spin on the tried-and-true? Chef Jeff from your Waukee Hy-Vee has some variations that’ll have your mouth watering.
The Warrior Burger and the Mignon burger are both available for your pre-game gatherings. Made with ground beef, the Warrior burger comes pre-seasoned with crushed red pepper, hot sauce, and jalapeños, topped with Pepper Jack Cheese. The Mignon burger is made with ground filet mignon, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, hot sauce, and onion. Both burgers are made daily in the meat department of your local Hy-Vee.
If you’re on the run, the Market Grille at Hy-Vee offers some great options you can grab on the way to your tailgate. The Rise and Shine burger is topped with Canadian bacon, smoked gouda, and an over easy egg. The Mac N’Cheese burger is a nice change of pace. Open-faced on jalapeño cheddar artisan bread baked fresh in the bakery, it’s topped with white cheddar macaroni and cheese, Colby jack cheese, bacon bits, and toasted bread crumbs.
