Meet the Guy with the Best Job in the World

Three new friends with Joe Cahn, the Commissioner of Tailgating (far right)

I had the pleasure at the Kansas City game of meeting the guy with the best job in the world, Joe Cahn. Joe is known as the commissioner of tailgating. He travels around the country in an RV tailgating at college and NFL football games, NASCAR events and any other sporting event his heart desires. He's been profiled in Fortune Magazine, the New York Times, Garden and Hearth, and numerous weblogs.

How did he get that job? After founding a successful cooking school in New Orleans in 1980, he sold it in the mid 1990s and bought an RV and began to travel the country. Eventually sponsors began to help out with gas money and more. He has relationships with organizations like Stanley Thermos Company and the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association.

Joe always enjoys his visits to Cleveland Browns games. As Joe shared with me the "Browns have a great tailgate and the Muni lot is one of my favorites. I believe its over a mile of food,Fans, friends and football."
