South Carolina Game

[BGCATFAN2012]

Bringing a small group with me for the USC game. I was wondering with kickoff being 330 and us coming from Bowling Green what a good brunch spot for 3. I know Lexington will be busy on gamedays but we will arrive with plenty of time to kill.
I usually come alone so I hit the mall up a few hours and eat there shop and then go to campus. Bringing my Dad to his first football game and would like for it to be a nice memorable experience. I sat in the Florida section last year and it was awesome. Hopefully we get a SEC win for the home crowd. Go Cats...

Maybe Wild Eggs or First Watch for a brunch.

Depends what your are after. I'd say KS Bar would have a good gameday crowd, but wouldn't be overly crowded.

Brunch-specific, I like Drake's, Ramsey's, Josie's, Winchell's, and Doodles.

It’s South on Nicholasville Road, but I’ve always loved Bella Notte.

Maybe not as “brunch” oriented as you want, but never had a bad meal.

And it’s a price notch below Malone’s/Drake’s type food.

Do you know anyone that sets up and tailgates? That would be a much better experience!

Naw I don't know anyone. I usually just get to the stadium about 45 minutes before and get inside. Im sure they will have a good time not matter what.

Wild Eggs or Josie's would both be good brunch options

I go to Double Dog every week before or after game. I love their food, and they have games on all over in there, plan on being there right at an hour though, so leave in plenty of time.

Tailgating is cool. I was part of a “club” of about 20 who tailgated together for 15 years, sharing expenses on an old, used RV and food, etc.

To be honest, though, the planning and prep of tailgating became a hobby unto itself, that totally dominated the weekend.

There are many ways to “package” a game. For several years, we ate at Malone’s/Drake’s/Bella Notte before or after games. That was pretty costly, and at the beginning tailgating was a reasonable alternative, but the longer you do it, the more you want to accomplish, and it becomes a lifestyle of its own.
