Tailgater Burger
Imagine taking an entire concession stand and piling atop a cheeseburger, and you essentially have the Tailgater. A grass-fed beef patty is loaded, Jenga-style, with American cheese, bacon, kielbasa sausage, Maryland crab dip and beer-battered onion rings, all served on a pretzel bun. Then, just for giggles, the whole thing's garnished with two buffalo wings.

White Chocolate Amaretto Bread Pudding
While the Saints go marching in (for another first down, of course), you can be stuffing your face with savory or sweet bread puddings. Head to sections 109, 513 or 553 to score one of four flavors: Gumbo, BBQ Shrimp, White Chocolate-Amaretto or S'mores.

Sloppy Joes, Key West-Style
The Miami Dolphins are welcoming a Florida legend to its home turf this year (and no, it's not Dan Marino): Sloppy Joe's Bar. The Key West institution has been around since 1933, and it's bringing its noteworthy Conch Fritters, shrimp po'boys on Cuban bread, and sweet-sauced Sloppy Joes.

The Midway Monster
Game day calls for a serious hot dog, and the Midway Monster does not disappoint. A jumbo frank is buried in corned beef, bacon-caraway kraut and stone ground mustard. Oh, and there's a pretzel bun involved, because Bears fans know you've gotta go big or go home when it comes to making 'monster' foods.

Chili-Glazed Fried Chicken in a Bread Cone
Disneyland isn't the only place where you can find bread cones—as it turns out, Denver Broncos fans (and rivals attending a game in Colorado) will be able to order one, too.

Where to Find It: Mile High Stadium in Denver, CO
Hickory-Smoked Jumbo Wings
Fox Bros. BBQ has racked up awards from Southern Living, Huffington Post, USA Today and ABC News for its 'cue, and now it's taking its signature wings to the gridiron. Every order comes slathered in the restaurant's famous barbecue sauce and served with a side of Ranch or blue cheese.

Pizza Logs
Pizza Logs have been a watch party and tailgate staple for many New Yorkers, and come this season, Jets and Giants fans can now enjoy these rolls right in the stadium. If you're all "pizza-whaaat," think of them like a pizza-filled egg roll: Mozzarella and pepperoni are rolled up, battered and fried.

Spinach and Ricotta Pizza
Eagles fans, you'll soon be able to score seasonally inspired vegetarian pizzas to fuel you from kickoff to overtime.

Hot Pulled Chicken Sandwich
