Blacktop Culinarians Unite!
Since
2006, Hans Steiniger has traveled to major pro sports venues
across the country in an effort to understand how tailgating differs
regionally as one moves from city to city. Throughout this
journey, numerous
connections were made with local tailgating groups eager to share their
experiences and open their grill pits to the many travelers that Quest
for 31. This is their story...

Member Bio:
The crew from Bengal Trailer are easily recognizable with flags flying on a set of 15-foot tall goal posts. The Bengal trailer is an awesome tailgate command post custom built with a tubular-frame awning to keep the elements away. The trailer is setup with one side dedicated to food preparatory and grilling surfaces, while the other side incorporates a commercial grade deep fryer and three full kegs. With local beer on tap in the first two kegs (usually Hudepohl and a Christian Moerlein product), the third keg is dedicated to a weekly special that changes in honor of the visiting team. The tailgate is always a good time with a collection of Bengals fans that know how to party.
Typical Gameday Spread:
A series of very creative visitor themed tailgates can be expected from this crew of Hall of Famers. From forty ounce bottles and gangsta rap when the west coast comes to town to Buffalo meat and rotisserie roasted steer shanks when the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans are in town, these guys know how to have a good time.
Hall of Fame Credentials:
A custom-built, tubular framed trailer decked out in Cincinnati Bengals orange and black serves as an exceptional
game day command post for this group of tailgating travelers. These guys are well connected
in the greater Cincinnati area with local radio station DJ's spinning tunes throughout the day
and a security staff that patrols the area before game time. The
Crew creates visitor-themed tailgates beverages of choice and
exceptional food selections native to the city their opponent is from.
