Starting September 19, Chef Julius drops in every other week to share delicious, easy grilling recipes that are great at the games and at home. He will join different tailgaters and taste their dishes and then try to enhance and introduce them to clever ways to better feed their guests. He will also teach college students to cook simple at-home dishes while serving up other savory recipes.

"When The Big Ten Network approached me about the show, I immediately saw the connection between football and high cuisine," says Chef Julius. "As a Chef and a tailgater, I have always had fun grilling at the games. A lot of the guys come out to show off their grilling skills and I plan to share fun, exciting recipes and techniques that can help them stand out in the parking lot. Let the games begin!"
