Here in the South, the coming of fall is greatly anticipated. It’s not the cooler weather that produces so much excitement—it’s the realization that once again, it’s football season. What better way is there to celebrate the weekend than donning your favorite team’s colors and cheering on the key players (or socializing with good friends, if you couldn’t care less about the scoreboard)? While you might not always be able to score tickets to the big game, having a championship-quality tailgate in the privacy of your own backyard is completely achievable with the help of Palmetto Outdoor Kitchens.

Stop by their showroom in the Queensborough Shopping Center in Mt. Pleasant (right behind Chick-fil-a) and you’ll see that they mean business when it comes to outdoor grilling and entertaining. With a multitude of brands to chose from in terms of weather-resistant cabinetry, grills, and accessories, Palmetto Outdoor Kitchens can work with you to design your perfect outdoor kitchen and handle the installation process. They also offer cleaning, monthly or quarterly maintenance, and repairs, meaning keeping the kitchen in tip-top tailgating shape is simple. Need a little more inspiration before deciding to install an outdoor kitchen? Check out these mouth-watering, bacon-centric recipes we snagged off their blog—they’re best served outdoors, surrounded by friends and the roar of rowdy football fans from the TV.
