Every game day is a big deal for diehard football fans, but it\u2019s even more so when your teams are playing for the division crown in the season finale. That\u2019s the case this week between the Ravens and Steelers who will vie for the AFC North title later this week.<\/p>\n
The thing is, unless you\u2019re going to be attending the game in person, you\u2019ll want your game-day experience to be as immaculate as possible and part of that will center around what you\u2019re putting into your belly while watching. Today, we\u2019re looking at a quick and convenient tailgating menu with a Baltimore theme.<\/p>\n
Crab Dip<\/p>\n
While people in the midwest have Buffalo Chicken Dip and Seven-Layer Dip, those out east can\u2019t get enough of Crab Dip. It\u2019s best described as a cheesy, creamy dip concoction that made a baby with crab cakes. The trio of mayo, cream cheese, and sour cream gives this dip the perfect texture and addictive zing that will keep you coming back for more while quickly depleting your stock of chip\/crackers.<\/p>\n
The lump crab meat is also specifically folded in \u2014 not thoroughly mixed \u2014 to make sure that you\u2019re able to get massive, scrumptious heaps of meat when dipping.<\/p>\n
Honey Old Bay Wings<\/p>\n
Yes, they really try to put that s*** on everything.<\/p>\n
Honey has seemingly begun to make its way into just about everything in recent years (hot honey pizza, anyone?) and that is also the case here with these delectable wings that mix the natural sweetness of the honey with the savory, salty, and somewhat spicy flavor profile of Old Bay.<\/p>\n
Most tailgates will trot out some form of wing, but here on the East Coast you\u2019re going to get their own personal stamp on one of the tailgate Mount Rushmore dishes. You can also bake them or cook the air fryer. Either way, you\u2019re going to get an addictive dish that you won\u2019t be able to put down.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t forget the napkins!<\/p>\n
Shrimp Salad Sandwiches<\/p>\n
A local favorite so delicious, you won\u2019t mind at all that you\u2019re munching down on a cold dish at this point on the calendar. That\u2019s just how tasty these sandwiches are.<\/p>\n
A simple mixture of chunk shrimp, mayo, celery, and your preferred spices make up a tried-and-true blend that fits perfectly on a toasted bun or roll of your choice. A squeeze of lemon also goes a long way on one of these, as well.<\/p>\n
And maybe one of the most underrated parts of a sandwich like this? It\u2019s going to go down lighter than a red meat sandwich which means you\u2019ll: A.) Feel better after eating it in general or B.) You\u2019ll feel physically more capable of consuming more of them (which is the whole point of tailgating, right?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every game day is a big deal for diehard football fans, but it\u2019s even more so when your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640205,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[184,117,2282,67076,93470,93469,7,6,169,426,2850],"class_list":{"0":"post-640204","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-baltimore","9":"tag-baltimore-ravens","10":"tag-baltimoreravens","11":"tag-buffalo-chicken-dip","12":"tag-crab-dip","13":"tag-cream-cheese","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-ravens","17":"tag-steelers","18":"tag-the-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115808215002646289","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640204"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640204\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
