Blacktop Culinarians Unite!
Since
2006, Hans Steiniger has traveled to major pro sports venues
across the country in an effort to understand how tailgating differs
regionally as one moves from city to city. Throughout this
journey, numerous
connections were made with local tailgating groups eager to share their
experiences and open their grill pits to the many travelers that Quest
for 31. This is their story...

Member Bio:
I grew up watching and playing football as a kid. In the late
1960's I attended occasional Atlanta Falcons games with my Aunt Lois and Uncle Joe Dube when I visited them. When my
wife, Diane, and I first moved to Atlanta in 1979, we purchased our
first Falcons season tickets. Our tailgate has been growing since then.
The Fanbulance was create to address the problem of, "How can I get everything I need
for tailgating ready at the start of the season and not have to load it and unload it every week?". The vehicle has been updated every year, and
continues to evolve as an NFL Sunday base of operations. Now, the "Son of Fanbulance" is in development.
Stay tuned...
Typical Gameday Spread:
Our typical gameday spread varies from game to game, but it's
always keyed to our opponent for the week.
Hall of Fame Credentials:
Tom Dunn is a member of PFUFA and the Fanbulance and crew members
have appeared in TV commercials, books, newspapers and magazines. Tom also won the first and thus far only "Smartest Falcons Fan"
award, a contest sponsored by the Falcons and local media to determine the fan with the most knowledge of the Falcons and their history.
