10 Minute Tailgate: ODU

This week, the Hokies travel to Norfolk to face the ODU Monarchs.  Being that the game is in the 757, I've created a couple of recipes that tie into the coastal atmosphere of the tidewater area, and should make a delightful tailgating experience. 

The Old Bay crab dip is a staple of many Chesapeake Bay area restaurants, combining the unique flavor of Old Bay seasoning with the richness of lump crab meat, it's heavy enough to be a focal point of the menu, or an addition to a substantial tailgate lineup!

The Orange Crush is a 757 staple beverage.  It combines vodka and triple sec with orange juice and Sprite, to make a light and refreshing beverage for a hot coastal afternoon waiting for kickoff.  

Check out the video below as I show you how to put these two recipes together and as always, GO HOKIES!
