The third season of Michael Mina’s Tailgate parties — a food lover’s feasting extravaganza for season ticket holders (annual membership is $3500, including all pre-season and regular season home games) at Levi’s® Stadium Bourbon Steak and Bourbon Pub — is the best season yet. A world class list of chefs join in the game day fun cooking for rowdy groups of fans for the home and guest football teams.

Chatting with Mina at a recent game, he expresses it best: “Each year keeps getting better. The spirit of what we set out to do grows as more and more chefs want to be involved, sometimes three or four chefs from a city. Next year, we may have three to five guest chefs each game.”

Based off a pre-game tradition longtime 49ers fan Mina has carried on for decades, the food is far above typical game food — from all-you-can-eat King crab legs to lobster paella — and it changes each game.

Award-winning chefs cook playful, gratifying food accompanied by craft beers, featured wineries’ wines and quality cocktails served in plastic cups. Mina’s lovely wife, Diane, takes it a step further with a Bloody Mary Bar, showcasing spirits from mezcal to bourbon with fresh juices and vegetables, accented by house-cured bacon if you wish.

Mina affirms that the quality of the food has a lot to do with his corporate team and their involvement in executing the special menus each game, from bar to kitchen staff.
