​BUFFALO, N.Y. – OCTOBER 22 : Tailgating food cooked in inventive ways on the hood of a red pinto at the Hammer’s Lot at the Pinto Ron tailgate party before the Buffalo Bills faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Orchard Park, N.Y. Ken Johnson, better known as “Pinto Ron”, (born 1958) is a Buffalo Bills fan known for attending every single Bills home and away game and hosting a tailgate party since 1994. He is known for his red Ford Pinto and antics cooking food on his car hood in a variety of objects such as a shovel and army helmet; furthermore, he holds a tradition of being doused in ketchup and mustard. Most notably he served shots out of a bowling ball until he was forced to shut down by the National Football League (NFL) Johnson moved his tailgate party to private property next to the stadium where the NFL has no jurisdiction and was able to resume serving bowling ball shots. He has been featured in multiple NFL Films, as well as the made-for-TV movie Second String.

No premium food stations. No open bar.Instead, there’s a red Ford Pinto, pizza cooked in ways that probably weren’t envisioned by the filing cabinet industry, shots from a bowling ball and, eventually, a grown man getting absolutely drenched in ketchup and mustard.Welcome to the Red Pinto Tailgate at Hammer’s LotAnd if you’ve been around Bills Mafia for any length of time, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already seen it, even if you’ve never been there.Bills fans travel to Buffalo from across the country and around the world, and not everyone can pack a grill, tent, coolers and half their garage for the trip. That’s one of the reasons I’m spending this season highlighting the different tailgate experiences available around Highmark Stadium.Some are ticketed and all-inclusive. Some ask for donations. Some require nothing more than showing up and introducing yourself. We’ll cover where they are, what they cost, what you need to bring and, most importantly, what you can expect when you get there.I’ve now attended 102 consecutive Bills games, home and away, and one thing I’ve learned along the way is that you don’t have to arrive in Buffalo knowing everyone. When you’re among Bills Mafia, you’re rarely on your own for long. And few places demonstrate that better than Hammer’s Lot.The Red Pinto has a new viewThe Red Pinto Tailgate has been part of Bills game day for decades, but the opening of the new Highmark Stadium gives this longtime tradition a brand-new backdrop.Hammer’s Lot sits at 4170 Abbott Road, roughly a couple minute walk fro
