He also has done more than anyone else to celebrate this exuberant American pastime in his weekly television commentaries.Madden has spent 18 years criss-crossing the country by bus and train. He knows road-food and tailgates as well as he does defensive line strategies. His book includes over 80 recipes for tailgating, sorted by region. All recipes will be easy-to-make and require no special skills or equipment. Each page will include sidebars explaining their regional history, origins, or Madden's humorous observations. This is vintage Madden.
