With pigskin season well underway, chips and dip get old fast. For a gourmet play on a tailgate favorite, serve up these elk sliders during the big game.
They'll also be satisfying some hungry foodies this weekend at the Travel + Leisure Global Bazaar in New York City.
"This isn't your usual slider and the fact that I can offer something like elk sausage to guests is one of the things I love about an event like the Travel + Leisure Global Bazaar. Cooking with some of the best chefs in the world, guys like Jose Andres, Johnny Iuzzini and Scott Conant, it's something special," says chef Tim Love.
Here's how to try his special dish at home:
