Bradford Thompson is the award-winning chef de cuisine at Mary Elaine's in Scottsdale, Ariz. He also happens to be a huge football fan who loves hosting tailgates and viewing parties. He has developed a party menu for four on the Shoestring budget of $40.

Mary Elaine's has scored some of the most coveted industry awards such as the prestigious Five-Diamond designation by the American Automobile Association, The Mobile 5-star award, and the esteemed Grand Award from Wine Spectator magazine, one of only a handful of restaurants in the country to have garnered such impressive honors.
