LET'S COLLABORATE

Rebecca Gordon here. I'm a Southern football and tailgating fanatic. You know me as the Tailgate Strategist in The Official SEC Tailgating Cookbook showing you how to throw the best party each football Saturday in the fall or you may have caught me on Tide & Tigers Today with the Voice of the SEC Paul Finebaum, sharing Southern Living recipes and tailgating tips. I also co-hosted Southern Living's Tailgate Playbook on the Great American Country channel in 2012 with Nan Kelley.

Most recently I served as Test Kitchen Director for the South's Most Trusted Kitchen. I'm now a Contributing Editor for the magazine I grew up reading and testing recipes for after culinary school and would love to share my experitise with you and your consumers.

KEEPING IT REAL

Hello everybody. I'm an Alabama Crimson Tide football fan who loves good food whether packing for a tailgate or preparing meals for my uber fan husband, Marrow. Our children: Oscar age 5+, a former rock-eating black lab who has grown into an ultra sweet pup; Gilbert age...9-ish, a gray and black striped tabby cat with a moody, teenager-like attitude, and the newest member of the family, Cledus T., age 1+. He comes to us via Woodstock, Alabama, about halfway between here and yonder (Birmingham and Tuscaloosa--Cledus makes me think a little more country rather than rock 'n roll). With a daddy named Bama and a mama named Belle, let's just say it was meant to be. Anyhoo, he's quite the mouthy little whipper snapper of a bloodhound. Me and my family live in a work-in-progress cottage in the suburban South and we're season ticket holders to the greatest football team of all time. Roll Tide, my friends!
