Are you ready for some football ... and food? The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) and the New York Jets are proud to announce a new partnership: the official New York Jets Cooking School – Tailgating Division.
This season, fans will enjoy an exclusive series of hands-on cooking classes designed to take their culinary skills and tailgating technique to the next level. In addition, fans will have the unique chance to tour the stadium, gain field access and meet their favorite Jets players.
