Florida’s famous Gator Chomp starts with arms extended straight forward, right hand over left. The palm of the left hand is up; the right is down. You then spread your palms and slap them together.
To some passionate Florida fans, only gator meat on game day will do; however, for others, this recipe for a Grilled Gator Kebab works beautifully with cubed chicken breast or pork tenderloin—just reduce the marinating time to 15 minutes. If you go with gator, source the freshest gator meat possible, preferably something never frozen, from your local grocer or butcher.
