Gatin' n Grillin' - Episode 3: Bama Tailgate Bliss: Tri-Tip, Tunes, & Touchdowns

Roll Tide! Get ready to elevate your tailgate game with this Bama-style barbecue extravaganza. We're bringing you the ultimate feast for the senses, where the tri-tip is tender, the tunes are soulful, and the touchdowns are guaranteed (well, maybe not the touchdowns, but we can dream, right?).

Carl "The Cook" Lewis, the pitmaster extraordinaire, is back with a vengeance, grilling up a storm of mouthwatering Wagyu tri-tip, seasoned to perfection with his secret Championship Beef Rub. And because no tailgate is complete without a little kick, he's also serving up his legendary jalapeño poppers and you know there is some Conecuh involved and most likely runnin' with that John Boy & Billy's Grillin' Sauce.

But hold on tight, because the party's just getting started! Andrew Applegate is here to serenade us with his soulful tunes, including his chart-topping hit, "I Don't Love You Anymore." It's a soundtrack that's as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking, perfect for a night of grillin', chillin', and spillin' your guts over a plate of barbecue.

So grab your crimson and white gear, fire up your grills, and get ready to celebrate the best of Bama with good food, good music, and good company. This episode is a touchdown for your taste buds and your Crimson Tide spirit!

Don't miss out! Tune in and turn up the heat! 🔥🎶
