Game Day Burgers Inspired by NCAA Football Teams

We say nothing goes better together than fall and football. Except, maybe fall, football and Steakhouse Elite beef!
 
It’s hard to imagine a tailgate BBQ without the sweet smells of a burning Kobe-beef burger grilling with a side of ice-cold beer. 

But, this tailgate season, we encourage you to think outside the traditional burger bun and try some of these exciting new tailgating recipes. Paired with our Kobe-crafted Steakhouse Elite beef, there’s just no better way to tailgate!
