Tailgate Season Is Here: Prep Like a Pro in a Commissary Kitchen
Game Day = Big Business
In Arizona, fall doesn’t just mean cooler weather — it means football season. Between ASU games, Cardinals matchups, and NFL watch parties, the Valley becomes a hotspot for tailgate catering, event vendors, and mobile kitchens.
For food entrepreneurs, this is more than a fan celebration — it’s an opportunity. From loaded nachos and sliders to gourmet street tacos, game-day food is all about flavor, speed, and consistency. And that’s exactly what BLT Kitchens helps you deliver.
Why Tailgate Season Is a Win for Food Vendors
When stadiums fill, so do catering orders. From downtown Phoenix to Glendale, every tailgate is an open door for creative food concepts.
Here’s why food entrepreneurs love the season:
- Crowds are hungry. Football fans don’t just show up for the game — they show up for the food.
- Corporate events and private watch parties book catering weeks in advance.
- Brand visibility skyrockets when your logo or truck is seen at major local tailgates.
With the right kitchen space, you can produce more, serve faster, and land recurring game-day clients.
