Introducing Gr8Tailgate – Perfect for Outdoor Fun This Summer & Beyond
Chicago, Illinois (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Gr8Tailgate, a new website and company dedicated to the grilling needs of America’s vast tailgate marketplace, has just launched online. The website offers a diverse selection of over 40 different gourmet meat and seafood options to entice the most discriminating griller, both at traditional tailgate parties at sports events and cookouts at home. Featuring choice, convenience and flavor, the Gr8Tailgate offerings can be mixed and matched as customers prefer. The tailgate market is estimated to include hundreds of thousands of men and women, according to Tailgater Monthly magazine, which says it is “America’s fastest growing sport.”
Featuring the “best tailgate food ever,” Gr8Tailgate invites customers throughout the U.S. to “Tailgate like a pro!” Whether it's outside the stadium, or at home with friends and family, the company offers everything grilling enthusiasts need for the ultimate tailgate party -- from five people to 5,000. Customers spend just a few minutes online, then Gr8tailgate will be at the door and ready for the party.
Since launching in late April, Gr8Tailgate.com has received hundreds of orders and very positive responses from its new customers. As an enthusiastic tailgater himself, the company’s co-founder, Jared Peterreins, thought this market segment offered huge potential and was being underserved online. “To our knowledge, there is no other company offering branded products targeted to tailgaters,” said Peterreins. “We think our gourmet selection of meat and seafood, cut and individually portioned, delivered to the door, and ready for the grill, will be welcomed – not just by tailgaters, but by anyone who enjoys outdoor grilling, backyard parties, and fun with friends and family.” He noted that Gr8Tailgate’s appeal goes well beyond sports fans at the stadium or raceway, to camping, RVing, picnics and even special events at home. Full of flavor, the convenient, gourmet products are ready for any dining occasion, big or small, whether one is a cooking novice or a pro.
Gr8Tailgate offers an exceptional selection of delectable products. Always a grilling favorite, beef choices range from elegant Chateaubriand and a prime rib roast to casual burgers and hot dogs. These top-quality products feature a wide selection of USDA-certified Black Angus or acclaimed Wagyu Kobe beef in a variety of options, from filet mignon, strip steaks, ribeye steaks, sirloin steaks, roasts, lean cubes, sliders and more. Premium pork choices – from the chef-preferred Duroc breed, known to be tender, juicy and flavorful – include pork chops, pork tenderloins, roasts and hot Italian sausage links. Poultry products feature both chicken and turkey selections, such as chicken breasts that are all-natural or thin-cut, and marinated in herbs or teriyaki sauce; chicken and apple sausages; and all-natural smashed turkey burgers. Carefully selected, top-grade seafood offerings include grouper fillets, ahi tuna steaks, swordfish steaks and jumbo shrimp.
While most products are ready for the grill or oven, some meats are already fully cooked. Ready to reheat and eat, these fully cooked options include pork baby back ribs in sauce, pork St. Louis ribs with dry rub, turkey wings, and colossal shrimp. In addition to individual meats and seafood, Gr8Tailgate also offers Grill Packs, which are pre-packaged offerings of favorite tailgate combinations. Customers may also mix & match to create their own customized Grill Packs. (They are also encouraged to name their creation, which may later appear as a new Grill Pack on the website.)
All Gr8Tailgate meat and seafood products are sourced from a leading supplier to restaurants, steak houses, resorts and hotels in America and around the world. The company maintains the highest standard of quality assurance and food safety practices in the industry.
The products are cut fresh and flash-frozen to lock in flavor and provide a consistent product; a resealable bag means no messy leakage in party coolers. For convenience, most offerings are individually portioned and ready for the grill or oven. Products are packed in dry ice, shipped in a reusable Styrofoam cooler, and delivered to the customer’s door through a choice of delivery options. To ensure buyers are completely pleased with the products, Gr8Tailgate offers its Satisfaction Guarantee: they will replace or refund the full price of any item that does not meet its high quality assurance standards or was damaged in transit.
Tailgating is a huge and growing pastime in America, but definitive information on the market is hard to come by. In 2012, the Tailgating Industry Association conducted a survey of 100 industry professionals to begin to address this issue. Here are some findings on which the majority of respondents agreed:*
• Tailgating is generally defined as “an outdoor event at which five or more people gather to share their passion for food and sports in a party atmosphere.”
• The entirety of the tailgating marketplace is estimated at $20 billion. This includes both traditional tailgating (at a stadium, for example) and home tailgating (identified as an indoor or backyard event). (Note that the total number of dollars spent annually on purchases related to tailgating depends on the criteria one establishes, still under discussion by the industry.)
