Vince Wilfork Will Be Co-hosting a Food Network Show About Tailgate Cook-offs at NFL Games



New England Patriots Hall Of Famer Vince Wilfork has a new gig and it is right up his ally.

In the six-episode “NFL Tailgate Takedown,” New England Patriots Hall-of-Famer Vince Wilfork and Sunny Anderson will preside over tailgate chefs going head-to-head in one-hour episodes shot on location at an NFL stadium tailgate party just before the game.

Each episode will feature teams of contestants representing the home team and away team for each game. Foods that the chefs will be preparing are famous hometown dishes including New England lobster rolls, Philly cheesesteaks, Green Bay deep-fried cheese curds and Buffalo chicken.

The winner of the cooking matchup will be presented with a “Yum-bardi Trophy” and then immediately brought into the stadium to watch the game with seats at the 50-yard line.

“NFL Tailgate Takedown” episodes will feature cooking competitors duking it out at these NFL games: Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Chicago Bears vs. New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium and Philadelphia Eagles vs. Houston Texans at NRG Stadium.
