Game Day, Fully Staffed

# Tailgate Catering in DFW

We bring the grill, the food and the crew to your parking lot or pre-game party. You watch the game and talk to your people instead of flipping patties.

[Call (469) 888-8343](tel:+14698888343)[Email for Quote](mailto:hello@tedsbackyardburgers.com)

## Tailgate Catering

A tailgate lives or dies on timing. There is a hard kickoff, everyone shows up in the same thirty minute window, and the food has to be ready and hot. We set up a staffed grill station, not a warming tray, and cook straight through your service window so the last person in line eats the same food as the first.

### A Real Grill, Not a Tray

Hamburger, cheeseburger, grilled chicken and veggie burger cooked on site, plus a toasted bun and full condiment station. All four are included at the base price.

### Drink Station Add-On

The Block Party includes a drink station with iced tea, lemonade and bottled water, which saves you hauling coolers and keeping them stocked all afternoon.

### Hot Dogs for the Crowd

Add 100% beef hot dogs for $2.50 per person. They cook fast and keep the line moving before kickoff.
