Exclusive: Rob Gronkowski reveals the characteristics behind a perfect gameday 'wingman'

Rob Gronkowski has revealed the essential elements for a perfect game day party, revealing that Bounty paper towels are his go-to wingman on game day. A former NFL tight end, Gronkowski emphasizes the importance of a variety of chicken wings, including Buffalo flavors in mild, medium, and hot options, along with dips such as blue cheese from his hometown of Buffalo, New York. He firmly believes that blue cheese is superior to ranch, stating that once you experience good blue cheese, you'll never go back to ranch again.

For those who may lack expertise in game day planning, Gronkowski suggested three NFL pros who have excelled in the role in the past. Three-time Super Bowl champion Julian Edelman, FOX sportscaster Charissa Thompson, and former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees all made his list of ideal game day teammates. Edelman, Gronkowski's former teammate on the New England Patriots, explained that they "just understood each other," making game day enjoyable.

Brees and Thompson, both known for their love of food and travel, offered a unique perspective on game day planning by introducing Gronkowski to the best restaurants in New Orleans and providing insider knowledge of cities they visited. Gronkowski emphasized that a successful game day partner should possess knowledge of food and the ability to guide you to the best dining options in a city.
