Keep Your Fingers Crossed with Kroger!

So, I spoke with Kroger today, and he liked my presentation!
He is going to call the 3 College Station stores, and see if they want to bring on KOG Brand! He said he may follow up with me by weeks end, but if I have not heard from him to call him on Monday! This is exciting exciting news! I wish it was sooner, but we all have to understand this guy is working and housed out of Houston, and is still recovering from Hurricane Ike.

I'll keep you posted, and Remember....Don't let the heat control the meat!

PS -- the photo in this blog was taken after the game, and the folks in this picture were about half of the KOGNation actually there and this was AFTER THE GAME! WOO HOO

Readfield.......Tailgates and Radio

Howdy KOGNation!

So, this past week, I was able to meet with a great man that has a great company.
Larry Ruffino with Ruffio/Readfield Meats! Ruffino is one of 3 brothers that run a local and great meat company.

The Ruffino Meat company is for commercial orders, so anyone with a restaurant, look them up.

The Readfield Meats and Deli is for "US"...the general customer.

Anyway, I was able to get with Mr. Ruffino, and he likes the idea of KOGNatio and their company (Readfield) donated meat(s) for our 2 tailgates we threw.

The two tailgates are as follows:
The Official KOGNation tailgate is located at the main gate of Olsen field.
The Official KOGNation tailgate "SHOW" is located at the corner of Olsen Blvd and Olsen Blvd....(that doesn't make sense does it?) Well, if you drive past Olsen Field and just keep going until it "seems" like it dead ends, that is where I am located along with KZNE 1150AM Radio (the Zone). The tailgate show is put on by Louie Belina, Billy Luicci, and Hunter "The Man" Goodwin. They loved the KOG Kabobs I made (meats complements of Readfield) and special for them, I made them a burger that Louie could not help but to discuss it today on the radio, and that was more radio play that was not part of our contract. Because I am going to continue to do this for the radio show, they are agreeing to put more KOGNation radio bits including (Readfield Meat) bits on the weekly show on Tuesday and Thursdays as a promo.

The tailgates and the KOGNation is growing people...
Lets welcome John K. and Suzanne A. who joined this past Friday and Today.

Take care KOGNation and Remember....Don't let the heat control the meat!

Tailgate News

Howdy KOGNation!

Well, it is official, the KOGNation will have a presence on the TAMU campus in 2 locations.

The feature tailgate will be right in front of Olsen Field between the K & J Lots in the grassy knoll just in front of the main gate of Olsen Field. You should see the KOGNation signs.

OUR 2nd location will be corner of Olsen Boulevard and Olsen Boulevard. (WHAT?!) Yeah, it looks like a dead end right there, but it is and it isn't. It is just across from LOT H and the LOT R (the RV Lot). We will be right there on the corner! KOG Kudos to KZNE 1150 The Zone (sports talk radio) for asking the KOGNation to be the official griller for their tail gate show! Make sure you tune in to them 3hrs prior the game, they typically have a former Aggie Great to discuss the game as well, which is always fun!

I look forward to seeing all of you at the tailgates!

Remember...Don't let the heat control the meat!

Hamburger Blasphemy

Hello KOGNation!!!

I have a confession to make.
About a month ago I made hamburgers....not on the grill.

I turned on the gas to my stove, and I put that wonderful meat begging to be put on the grill on my flat skillet.... (and i didn't wanna grill just for me.....I know, don't let the heat control the meat right?)

I ask for your forgiveness KOGNation....
It won't happen again!
