TAILGATE w/ the Bengal Bomb Squad ... We're having a "Ratbird Riot!

[BigJohnWC]

This is the official thread for the Bengal Bomb Squad (Bengal Thing & Big John) tailgate for the Bengals & Ravens game on November 8th

Our theme this week is "Ratbird Riot!" ... You can do dishes in a Baltimore style/theme, make something out of the various edible birds out there, come up with a side that goes well with a plucked specimen, or even just a good party dish (hence the RIOT).

We're located in Lot 1! Normally, we're located one row from the back concrete wall, directly under where the overpasses intersect. ...to locate us specifically, look for the Who Dey Heroes! Bengal Bus with an 8ft inflatable "Who Dey" mascot on top of it. We'll be in the lot starting at 9am (cannot park there any earlier, county won't open the lot).

For more information, menu updates, etc. ... check us out at www.BengalBombSquad.com.

I'll also update the menu here as people post/email what they're bringing! There's always plenty of food, beer, food, games, food, friends, food, and Bengal Bombs!

See you all on Sunday, November 8th!

WHO DEY!

PS Since the weather is starting to turn a little bit, have no fear! We still have our heater and it will be there to warm the tailgate if needed! Tents will be available should we have a rainy tailgate.

Here's the first MENU UPDATE for "Ratbird Riot!" -

Deep Fried Ratbird! (yes, we're deep-frying a turkey!!)
Ratbird Wings

More to come!

ALSO ... We'll have a prize drawing for donations again this tailgate! Plus, those who donate will have their choice (two possibilities) of Who Dey trinket! The best news? Both trinkets will help you show your WHO DEY support during the game!

WHO DEY!

Yeah they do!!! I had some cookie dough brownies the other day that were to DIE for!!


I'll probably bring a side dish of some sort since that is what it sounds like we could use right now. Maybe potato salad or something....??

We'll bring a shrimp ring and look forward to my first Bengal Bomb Squad tailgate!

[The Bengal Thing]

What a party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT A PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!

[MikeEast]

First off, We want to apologize for not making the tailgate. We were really looking forward to it. We went to lot 1 and it said "prepaid parking only." Then, we ended up going to Longworth hall and parked. We were sent way in back. I really wanted to meet you all. I did get a flash for a beer, so that was cool. But held nothing to the game experience itself. I knew we would take these guys. With that said, we will take Pitt next week.

We did walk to lot 1 and I guess you may have deflated the guy on top. I could not locate you. I did get to see a Bengal Herse, which was cool. Bad thing is I saw your inflatable Bengal when we had to make the pass, but not when we walked over. I'm sorry I missed everyone and if anyone can tell me how to get a prepaid spot in lot-1 I would be greatful, unless it's really a parking pass you pay for at the beginning of the season, which I guess I would be out-of-luck!

Again, sorry for missing the Tailgate!

Mike
