Not Your Average Joe.

There are extreme tailgaters. And then there is Joe Cahn!

As the self-proclaimed Commissioner of Tailgating, Joe may have the best job in America.  He invented it.  In 1996, he sold his business, the New Orleans School of Cooking, sold his house, bought a motor home and hit the road to explore what he calls “the new American community”—Tailgate Parties. 

Joe Cahn is the world's only professional tailgater.  He tailgates at football stadiums, NASCAR tracks, and any other event where they party in the parking lot.  Now in his twelfth season on the road, he has driven the JoeMobiles over 500,000 miles, visited hundreds of cities, and has seen thousands of fans and has eaten his way through over 500 tailgate parties.

During his Tailgating America Tours he has used 83,397 gallons of gas/diesel to travel to all 31 NFL stadiums,  over 123 college stadiums, and 9 NASCAR tracks, tailgated with hundreds of thousands of people and served more than 326 pots of Jambalaya!

Joe Cahn is the Commissioner of Tailgating. The Commissioner's job is to promote tailgating, the Celebration in the Parking Lot. It's the new community social and the biggest weekly party in the nation!  He's meeting the fans, the Tailgaters, AND the folks on the road, in the rest stops, at the campgrounds, in the parking lots of America!  He wants to make sure everyone is invited to the party. 

He’s living the American dream.  It’s every sports fan’s fantasy!
