Appetizers that hold up after reheating

I'm a Redskins season ticket holder (please hold the jokes, its painful enough as it is). and this will be my first season with a BGE. I have an XL and hauling it to and from the games doesn't seem like a reasonable solution.  

Im looking for ideas on appetizers that can be reheated.  I'll have a foldable tailgating grill on site doing burgers and sausages, but i want to up my game.  

What at do we think guys?  Pig shots, moink balls?  What's going to be reheatable and not lose its wow factor.

    I would be reheating in foil, or a foil pan, on the smaller tailgating grill.

    You tell me. Do they hold up reheated? I'm looking for advice.

    First and foremost texture will always be an issue on revitalizing leftover Apps. That said depending on the stuffing ABTs. Moink Balls, candied bacon roses, pineapple wrapped w/ bacon, figs wrapped with bacon.  Lollipops could be considered an App unless it's the main course. But in small volume they are a nice App w/ or w/out bacon wrap. How are you intending on reheating them?

    @NPHuskerFLIdeally I'd throw them in a foil pouch or foil pan and reheat them indirect on a cheap charcoal grill.  

    Agreed. Texture is my top concern.  I've never really reheated apps and am not sure how to determine which will reheat with desirable results

    You can make pulled pork sliders. Smoke the butt over night and take it FTC'ed to the game. Moink shots will work as would anything that you can reheat in a pot with some sauce/liquid on the grill.

    I also hate myself. Last had season tickets for the glorious McNabb era. I haven't renewed since and probably won't until Danny Boy sells. Or dies.

  • I reheat ABTs all the time.  Making a batch for the game tonight and will reheat in the coming days till they are gone.  Not really an appetizer but I used to always make hobo potatos for tailgating as follows:
    Slice potatoes 1/8 thick or less and coat with melted butter.
    Lay slices on foil and cover with sliced onions and garlic cloves.
    Repeat until you have 3 or 4 layers.
    Cover with another piece of foil and seal the package.
    Place on grill and cook till the outer layer of potatoes is crispy.

    Maybe the potatoes would be better for a December game.  Enjoy and good luck this weekend!!

    Krystal sliders are great and also serves as a colon cleanser.

    Agree with the pulled pork idea.  Also dips are great for tailgating (i.e. Buffalo Chicken Dip or Spinach and Artichoke Dip).  Aluminum pie pans work great for reheating those.  
  • abt's do reheat well.  I made a batch when I first got the egg, chilled and transported 2 hours to family and reheated on low heat in their oven.  Still awesome.

    I also think stuffed mushroom caps would be good reheated, and like another said wings
