When the typical burgers and dogs just won't do, these NFL and collegiate teams have a few fans who know how to host a tailgate to remember. "Tailgating is the original Facebook, but when you like somebody in the parking lot, you get food," laughs Joe Cahn, who has been to more than 1,000 tailgates in 20 years and is the self-proclaimed commissioner of tailgating. "And the menu is unique everywhere you go."

Here are 10 teams across the country with inventive, tasty traditions that give fans full bellies and hometown pride — and extra excitement for the big game.
