This is a favorite time of year for sports fans — beautiful, crisp fall days usually means football, friends, and food. Lots of it! Whether you are hosting a game day tailgate at home or at the stadium, Butcher Boy has everything you need to serve up delicious snacks, finger foods, and main courses.

Recently, Tony Massarotti, co-host of Boston’s 98.5 The Sports Hub, stopped by Butcher Boy to pick out some favorites for tailgating. If there’s someone you’re sure to find watching every game, and who KNOWS tailgating, it’s Tony Mazz. Check out his selections here.

When you’re ready to fire up the grill on a weekend afternoon to cheer on your favorite pro or college team, let us help you choose the best beef, chicken and pork for your group. Our handmade, 100% beef burgers are a great way to feed a crowd. Score extra points with chicken or steak tips in a variety of marinades to satisfy everyone’s tastes. Or you can give dry rubs a try — either from your own combination of spices or from our market.

We have the freshest produce for you to create your favorite salsa, guacamole, and dip recipes from scratch. Sandwiches are an easy way to feed your friends when kickoff is early in the day. Visit our deli to get all the fixings for a make-your-own sandwich platter or create subs you can cut into individual portions. If it’s chili you’re in the mood for on game day, we’ve got the ground beef you need. Shop our grocery aisles for all the other ingredients that pack the boldest flavor.

Weeknight games in Foxborough can be tough for cooking up a tailgate menu. Make it simple by shopping Butcher Boy for prepared foods. Some are ready to eat, others can be easily warmed up and served from a hot dish or crockpot.

Win or lose, you can give every football game a sweet ending with cookies, pastries, or whoopie pies from our bakery.
