Holloway: Most wonderful time of the eating year? Surprise! It’s tailgate snacking season, including a recipe for Lucy Buffett's LA Caviar

We find ourselves smack in the sweetest part of one of my favorite times of the year. And it’s only going to get better and tastier as we go.

I don’t mean that somewhat ambiguous period roughly between Halloween and New Year’s Day that has become known collectively as “the Holidays.” (Though that’s one of my favs.)
