"We've got one final opponent standing between us and the offseason: The New Orleans Saints in Week 18. The Falcons have nothing left to play for but pride at this point, and beating the Saints would get that job done. But we are talking about the Atlanta Falcons, one of the most unpredictable teams in the league, and the Saints are on a draft-position-ruining four-game winning streak. Who knows what Sunday will bring!"
"A key to a great tailgating dish, especially in the winter, is making sure it's something you can take to the tailgate in a slow cooker so you can keep it warm and transport it easily. Jambalaya fits the bill. It's a one-pot dish that blends the French, Spanish, and African influences that are the ancestors to Cajun and Creole cuisine, centering around chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage."
Plan a New Orleans–themed tailgate for the Falcons vs. Saints Week 18 game with dishes that travel and stay warm. Jambalaya works well in a slow cooker as a one-pot meal combining chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage, with rice absorbing the combined flavors. Creole jambalaya includes tomatoes while Cajun does not, so offering both provides variety for large crowds. Gumbo demands more time and skill, particularly to develop a proper roux of equal parts flour and melted butter. Slow cookers simplify serving and keep dishes at a safe, enjoyable temperature during winter tailgates.
