Duke Vs Northwestern, 9/16 – 3:30 KO M&A thread and a tale about stolen cake

[CameronBornAndBred]

With an afternoon game we'll be serving up an All-American style cookout lunch.
I always love experimenting with how I cook, and this game will be no different. In the Spring, I bought a Blackstone style griddle, which I use all the time at home. Julie LOVES how burgers turn out on it. They are far juicier and much tastier than one cooked on a grill grate. Think of a very large and well seasoned cast iron skillet, and that's what our lunch is going to be prepared on.
For this TG, I'm bringing the griddle cooking plate (the large cast iron surface) to use under the grill hood for the burger patties. I guarantee a mouth watering experience.

Chris,

1st, thank you again for an amazing Italian buffet on Saturday! The food you prepared was delicious!

I will be there, and will bring some more Dear Wife's Baked Iced Lemon Cake. Most people seemed to like the taste.

Go Duke!

While we will likely attend the game, we have some obligations in Raleigh that mean we may not make it to Durham until close to game time, and miss tailgate.

If we manage to make it, will bring cash.

[devildeac]

Double devildeacs will attend with beers to share/trade and some freshly printed Jacksons. A side or dessert is under discussion.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

OzNina. Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies!

Andrew DeHart and either Art O'Connor or friend. Will bring $

Excited to show those purple nerds that we're the better nerds

Covid and eye surgery have kept me from the first two tailgates, but I plan to be there Saturday! There will be two or three of us: Kathleen and I and hopefully Tom.

If there is an extra drop off pass that would be great!

Talk to Chris. He has the only extra pass I had (it's Tim's if he shows up). If not call Chris on his cell as you get near the entrance and he'll bring the pass to you.

Glad you're feeling better, David! Of course, this means we won't be able to talk about you on Saturday!

[Buddy]

Third time should be the charm. I am determined to defeat this mystery virus. Lee Ann and Gary Dean will be there. A rum cake will be contriuted/

[August West]

August West, party of one. Bringing dead presidents, cold beer, and plenty of water.

[Cheermom]

So far we are a total of 2 and I am waiting to hear back from some friends.

I am not sure if I will bring anything besides $$. Fruit waws not a hit and the salad does not seem to go with the All-American lunch.

Posting on behalf of Skydog (Ross), OY. A "newbie" football game attendee that I passed along an as always invitation to.

"Thank you so much for the invite! That menu looks absolutely scrumptious and we will take you up on it. There are two of us."

[chipslate]

I'll be there with at least one little one! TigerDevil and the other little one are "questionable" depending on his soccer game that morning.

Greenbacks will accompany us either way!

[Cheermom]

Cheermom has two more for a total of 4 and I will bring a veggie platter and dip.

Update: Art and myself are coming as well as two friends (4 total), will bring $$

[dpslaw]

Well, this sucks. Kathleen is sick, and I’m not yet able to drive, so once again I will miss the tailgate. I must be snakebit.

A late thanks again to CB&B for his culinary choices and presentation yesterday along with his grilling skills and hard work!!

[CameronBornAndBred]

Most of y'all missed this moment.

We were sitting under the shady tent, watching the game. Well everyone else was, it was halftime and I was falling asleep in my chair, when a commotion wakes me up.

Someone stole the rum cake!!! Not just a slice, but the whole damn cake! Our tent member Kim saw this and took off running after this woman walking off with our cake, and a bag of our chips.

Upon getting confronted, she said "I'm a Duke student, I go here, I can take it". I shit you not.
Thanks to Kim the cake was saved from the self-entitled elitist, and dessert was saved.

Hats off to Lee Ann Dean for making a cake so good that it's worth going to Duke jail for.

Totally delicious -- the entire spread -- the coleslaw, potato salad, etc. ! I asked Chris how he seasoned the burgers -- they were so delicious! He told me that the seasoning by now was totally baked into his grill. You grilling aficionados likely knew this already, but I found it a fun fact.
