| Tailgating: Party in the parking lot
Tailgating guru Joe Cahn has been traveling around the country in an RV trying to put an end to some stereotypes.
"I've been dispelling the myth that tailgating is a bunch of drunk guys in the parking lot" says Cahn, who is also known as the NFL's Commissioner of Tailgating.
For 11 months out of the year, Cahn travels to pro and college sports stadiums to eat in parking lots. Ever since selling his New Orleans cooking school in 1996, Cahn's life has been devoted to tailgating and what it represents in American culture.
"We talk football and we find we have more things in common with people than we do differences," Cahn says over the phone from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis. "It's a cross-section of America in the parking lot." It's also about the grub.
