BAM! Emeril Wants Redskins Fans


I'll bet this guy can cook up some serious kickass tailgate food

For those that do not know, last month Discovery Channel launched Planet Green, the quote first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network unquote, Planet Green's stated target market is quote college students, baby boomers and new parents who have demonstrated an interest in improving the planet by changing their ways of living unquote.

Now you can add to that list Redskins fans.

Emeril Lagasse of Emeril Lagasse fame has a show on Planet Green called Emeril Green, where

[Emeril] shares how the best meals start with high quality produce, seafood and meats, and helps families get inspired by using fresh and seasonal ingredients. On location at Whole Foods Market, Lagasse works with everyday cooks with real culinary challenges, enlisting the help of the knowledgeable team at Whole Foods Market and other experts to hand pick the best ingredients for every recipe, turning ordinary meals into extraordinary experiences. Faced with questions about quality, cost, taste and even some daunting food dares, Lagasse helps viewers conquer their culinary fears with an open mind and a healthy curiosity.

And prepare for serious football drinking.

I got an email on Sunday from a cast coordinator at Emeril Green, fully reprinted below:

Hey Redskins Fans,

We are offering you a unique spin on your normal tailgating experience. Have Chef Emeril Lagasse add a little spice to your pre-game meal. We are looking for Redskins fans to appear on Emeril Green to cook tailgating food with Chef Emeril. If you are interested please send an email to foodshowcasting@gmail.com and be sure to include the following: name, address, occupation, age, and a little bit of info on what your current tailgating meal includes. Thanks!

I cannot stress how cool this would be and how much I would like this lucky Redskins fan(s) to get recruited from the loyal readership of Redskinsland. Other bloggers reading this that were not contacted by Planet Green, please post up or link.

There are many NFL league cities that are associated with a particular tailgate food, ribs and BBQ in Kansas City, brats in Green Bay, chili in Pittsburgh, crack cocaine in Oakland and bitter bitter bile in Philadelphia.

There is no food specifically associated with Redskins, therefore the submissions here should represent a broad range of options from which the producers can choose.

Get in there, make your submission, I do not know if this is a competition with fans from other cities, let's make sure they get a Redskins fan out there.
