The Official Tailgate of People Who'd Rather Watch the Game
Fall in the Tri-Cities means Saturdays at the stadium — and somebody standing over a grill missing the first quarter. Not this season. Our trays arrive smoked, sauced, and ready: you set them out, you sit down, you watch football.
Our game-day trays use the same clearly labeled ingredients and dedicated gluten-free kitchen as our weekly menu.
The Game Day Lineup
18-Hour Smoked Brisket. Most meal preps take fifteen minutes. Ours takes eighteen hours. Sliced and ready for sandwiches (gluten-free buns available) or straight off the tray.
Smoked Ribs. The same ribs featured on the menu at Marker 2 Grille at Lakeview Marina. Fall-off-the-bone, feeds a crowd.
Cajun Smashwings. Our most-ordered game day item. Enough said.
Smash Sides. Loaded potato salad, slaw, mac — all from the dedicated GF kitchen, so everything on the table is safe for everyone at the table.
“A tailgate is a congregation with a parking pass. Everybody's welcome at the table — and at ours, the guest with celiac doesn't have to ask what's safe. It all is.”
Sizing Your Order
A good rule: half a pound of protein per adult. Our trays feed roughly 10, 20, or 40 — for bigger crews or team events, call 423-525-2489 and we'll build it custom. Orders close Thursday at 11:59 PM for weekend games. Pick up in Kingsport or at our Pinnacle Bristol Sunday location.
Beyond Saturdays
The same trays work for watch parties, youth team banquets, and office game days. Hosting near the Speedway in September? See our Bristol Night Race catering page — race week has its own ordering deadline.

How ordering works
- 1. Pick your meals Browse the menu that's live this week and choose what you want. Subscriptions are optional — order one week, every week, or whenever you need it.
- 2. Choose how you get them Free pickup at our Kingsport kitchen and Grab & Go partners, $15 home delivery in the Tri-Cities, or $30 flat-rate FedEx Ground for eligible addresses. Orders close Thursday 11:59 PM Eastern.
- 3. Heat and eat Meals are fully cooked and ready to heat. Local Tuesday delivery and shipped orders arrive with full macro labels on every meal.
- Dedicated gluten-free kitchen — We do not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the building and we do not share equipment with gluten-containing production. A dedicated gluten-free facility is not an allergen-free facility — check each label for other allergens.
- Transparent nutrition — Calories and macros are published for every meal, so you can match meals to what you're actually trying to do.
- Cooked in Kingsport since 2017 — Founder-run production kitchen at 1917 Meadowview Parkway, Kingsport, TN — the same kitchen for local pickup, local delivery, and shipped orders.
Tailgate FAQ
- How far in advance should I order tailgate catering?
- Orders close Thursday at 11:59 PM for weekend pickup. For trays feeding 40 or more, call 423-525-2489 by mid-week so we can plan smoker capacity.
- Do you deliver to the stadium area?
- We offer local delivery across the Tri-Cities and pickup in Kingsport and Bristol. For game day logistics, call and we'll coordinate a handoff that beats stadium traffic.
- Is the whole tailgate menu gluten-free?
- Yes — every item, every tray, every time. Our kitchen has been 100% dedicated gluten-free since 2017, with zero shared equipment.
- What are the most popular tailgate items?
- The 18-hour smoked brisket and Cajun smashwings lead every fall. Ribs are the sleeper pick — they're the same ribs served at Marker 2 Grille on Boone Lake.
- Can you handle groups with both celiac and non-celiac guests?
- That's exactly what we're built for. Nobody eats "the special food" — everybody eats the same food, and it's all dedicated gluten-free.
