We asked Missouri-based Rod Herrenbruck—the self-proclaimed king of tailgating—to share some of his favorite tips to get you ready for game day, as well as his favorite tailgating recipe. Turns out, it's from his wife, Deb. "A huge part of tailgating is the food," says Rod. "The one staple we have at every one of our tailgates is Deb's corn dip. She's been making it for years and everybody loves it! There's nothing better." It's creamy and cheesy and has just the right amount of spice. It also couldn't be easier to whip up. As the Herrenbrucks say, "Tailgate on!"
