As great as this menu sounds, I believe Nadine was too modest in not sharing two others things which helps make her tailgates so special.
1. Gopher Lady makes kick-ass Jello Shots. She has taken the simple Jello Shot and elevated it to being nearly an art form. Being offered a Jello Shot by Gopher Lady is a humbling, yet very rewarding, experience..
2. Gopher Lady - and the gang she brings to the game - exude all the is good about college sports. While they really, really want to see some Badger ass kicked today, they also realize life is too short to 'hate' somebody just because they support the team the Gophers are playing.
You can have all the great food you want, but the secret ingredient for a successful tailgate is 'Attitude', and Nadine and her gang have it.
Simply stated, this gang likes to have fun....and they are very good at it.
A few of us from BuckyVille will be stopping by GL's tailgate to beg for a jello shot or six while engaging in some serious BS about today's game and enjoying some gracious Gopher hospitality.
Winning the Tailgate?
I'll bet on Gopher Lady any time!
