Gotta go with smash burgers due to the return of tGrind.
And top it with some of MSU’s famous edam or cheddar cheese.
Other than that you can try fried catfish but be sure to plan how to prepare and cook right or it will be a disaster. Mix up some comeback sauce for the hush puppies. Delta hot tamales. Slug burgers (no not made out of slugs) with mustard, pickles and onion. And a gallon of sweet tea.

Just sounds southern. When I think university town affiliated catfish in MS, I think Ole Miss and Taylor's Grocery, even if it is just okay catfish at a cool locale.
If we are talking unique MS food experiences, it is Delta Tamales, really good gas station deli lunches, and little restaurants that look condemned during the week and are only open Fri-SAT and serve tremendous food options with $1 beers.

The best one I ever ate at was off of Sardis Lake next to the Volunteer Fire Station.
Tremendous steaks, fresh seafood, best Oysters Rockefeller ever. Sadly, it did not survive Covid. But, damn it was good. Could feed a family of 5 with a quality food experience for under $70 bucks.
If you wanted steak though, you'd better go Fri or early, early on Saturday because they'd be out. Everything was fresh. Only bought what they planned to sell each weekend.

Since we are big deer hunters here in Alabama. And since Auburn has one of the best fish and wildlife departments in the country, I'd go with venison backstrap jalapeno poppers with cream cheese and bacon and a big platter of Alabama farm raised catfish fillets from Hale County. Have the Conecuh sausage cooked on the smoker for a pregame appetizer. Wash everything down with a brown ale called Truck Stop Honey from the Back Forty Brewing Company in Gadsden Alabama.

Absolutely not. That was the most overrated shite ever.
This was a dive. I hate I can't recall the name.
It was next to Sardis Lake FD... maybe it wasn't a volunteer station. It is a bait shop now.

Well now, if ya lookin fer somethin that’ll stick to yer ribs like a tick on a hound, lemme tell ya how we do it back in the Ozarks. We fry up catfish fresh from the creek, roll it in cornmeal and a pinch o cayenne, then drop it in hot grease till it sings. Throw in a mess o skillet cornbread, none o that sweet cake stuff, just good ol cracklin cornbread with bacon fat.
Don’t forget a pot o beans slow-cooked with a ham hock and a splash o sorghum molasses. Serve it up with wild greens, poke sallet if ya can find it and a jar o chowchow to wake up yer tongue.
Finish with a black walnut pie or maybe a persimmon pudding if the frosts kissed the fruit. That there’s Ozark eatin, straight outta Missouri hollers.

100%
I haven’t tried every Weller but of the ones I have, I liked the 12-year old, Black label the best. Very smooth.
I have a bottle of the 10-year old Old Rip Van Winkle. Maybe my expectations were too high but I wasn’t blown away.
I will say of the more common ones available, the Woodford Reserve Double Oak Barrel Select Bourbon might be my favorite. I’m sure our friends from Kentucky can offer more insight on which ones to try,

Being told that Jack Daniels is legally a bourbon really chaps their arse.
The difference between bourbon and Tennessee sipping whiskey is the EXTRA step…the Lincoln County Process. In short, anybody can make bourbon. Not everybody can make Tennessee whiskey. I’ve had Japanese whisky that will match up with anything from Kentucky. Scotland is still the gold standard for scotch tho!

enjoy vinegar-based BBQ myself, but I do enjoy the occasional Maurice's sandwich with their spicy yellow sauce. For some reason, that is the only way I'll eat mustard-based BBQ. If I am at a buffet, I will go for vinegar 100% of the time.
Vinegar sauce is my absolute favorite bbq sauce, but I thought that was more North Carolina while the Superior Carolina used more mustard based. Am I wrong?

or better yet a Cajun boil with crawfish, shrimp, crab legs, andouille sausage and corn on the cob. That shite is what really hits on GameDay.
This is an absolutely atrocious gameday meal, but outside of crab legs (never cooked crab legs Cajun styled) is an incredible group meal.
I love it, I’d just hate to cook it while tailgating at a stadium.

Cuban sandwiches at a ton of tailgates at UF. I am making a spread of them for my daughter's birthday this weekend.
A good Cubano and/or a good Reuben are God's gifts to the sandwich world.
Cuban food overall is very underrated. Only thing I miss about living in Miami.
