It’s football season, Bham—what type of tailgater are you?

Sponsored

I love tailgating in Birmingham because you never know what to expect. On one hand, you’ve got the ride-or-die fans who couldn’t care less about the pre-game spread. And on the other hand, you’ve got the ones who couldn’t care less about football and are just here for the party (guilty).

A few days ago, our team grabbed Hattie B’s Hot Chicken for a little pre-football season tailgate, and it left me wondering: Which menu item appeals to each tailgater?

So, because you’re all dying to know, I had a little fun with Hattie B’s football kickoff special: Buy one wing bucket and score a free, one-quart side of pimento mac & cheese, creamy coleslaw or baked beans.

Keep reading to see which one resonates with you. 

1. The one who’s just there for the game: Southern-style wings + creamy coleslaw

To the football fanatics, I know you’re only at the tailgate for a quick beer and bite to eat before subtly asking your friends when they want to go find your seats.

Even though I can’t relate to you, I see you. You’re a fan of the classics! So, I’m giving you Hattie B’s beloved Southern-style wings paired perfectly with creamy coleslaw.

Plus, with Hattie B’s football kickoff special, you get your coleslaw free (or a quart side of pimento mac & cheese or baked beans) when you purchase a wing bucket. 

2. The cornhole champion: Shut the Cluck Up! wing bucket

For our daredevils, let’s see how you can handle the Shut the Cluck Up! wing bucket.

You’re the first one at the tailgate and the last to leave. You’re probably challenging everyone to a game of cornhole, and you’re saying, “It’s not even that hot,” three Shut the Cluck Up! wings down and tears in your eyes.

3. The one who came to socialize: Pimento mac & cheese, baked beans + coleslaw

Finally, my people: The ones there to socialize and eat.

You’re fixing your plate, and you’re here to grab all the latest gossip. I’ve reserved Hattie B’s delicious sides—pimento mac & cheese, baked beans and coleslaw—just for you.

So, grab a fork, fill your plate and settle in for a while! The game’s not going anywhere, trust me.
