Available nationwide with free two-day shipping, this all-out deli food feast includes all of Katz’s crowd favorites. The cornucopia of goodness serves six to eight and includes:

1 lb sliced corned beef
2 lbs sliced pastrami
1 full loaf of rye
1 lb mustard
1 lb Russian dressing
1 lb sliced swiss cheese
1 small hard salami
1 dozen pigs in a blanket
1 quart of pickles

All you have to do is rake in the compliments for having such a football-ready banquet. If you’re trying to be the MVP of a much bigger tailgate, you’ll want to go with their Big Game Platter. This option feeds 14–18 and they’ll even throw in a hat.

Everyone in New York knows Katz’s. But if this is your first time hearing about them, the thing to know is that Katz’s is the king of corned beef. Their curing process takes up to 30 days, and they’ve been perfecting it since 1888. Their “Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army” program in WWII was based on the understanding that cured meat cures what ails you.

Party planning can get hectic. Don’t let it detract from the fun. If you’re organizing a tailgate or readying the living room for a pack of hungry guests, let Katz’s Delicatessen do the work for you so you can get to savoring the big game.

Pro tips from Chef Eduardo Garcia for cooking outdoors like a true mountain man

Here's how to really cook like a mountain man

Chef Eduardo Garcia.

When we think of mountain men, we tend to think of rugged and self-sufficient folks who live off of the land. And while that's mostly accurate, it's also 2024, and the definition has evolved. Today's mountain man is personified by chef Eduardo Garcia, who combines culinary expertise and the right cooking tools with an adventurous attitude and focus on the environment.

Garcia has put in some shifts. He's done everything from cooking on yachts to delivering motivational speeches. He's also the host of Big Sky Kitchen, now two seasons deep. The show focuses on outdoor cooking and the many joys of preparing and eating food in the context of nature.

Here’s how to crawfish boil the right way (and everything else there is to know about crawfish)

Crawfish is a Southern staple and in season right now. Here's how to properly prepare this seafood

A southern Crawfish plate

Crawfish, crayfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, yabbies, or mudbugs -- whatever you call them, one thing remains the same: They're delicious. That is; when they're prepared correctly. If you live above the Mason-Dixon line, you may not have heard of any of these cousins to the lobster, and that's totally normal. Crawfish are everywhere, but the vast majority of the world's eating crayfish come from Louisiana (around 95%).

The end of March to early June is prime crayfish season (when they grow to be the largest). That's why crawfish boils are common around the middle of spring to early summer. Despite being at their largest around this time, they're still pretty small. A jumbo crayfish will provide about as much meat as an average-sized shrimp. So, after you learn how to eat crawfish, you're going to need to eat a lot -- we suggest around 3 to 5 pounds per person. This seems like a ton, but you have to remember that these little buggers are mostly shell. And the secret of a good crawfish boil is to not overcook them, or the meat becomes tough.
