I'm going to a Super Bowl party on Sunday, but as a man who associates himself strongly with both New York and Boston, I can't say I have much of a dog in the fight this year. To keep things interesting, I've decided to issue myself a personal vegan superbowl challenge. The goal? To bring vegan Super Bowl snacks, serve them to a room full of avowed meat eaters, and make them so good that they get eaten before the regular snacks do. More

This year we have a true Super Bowl of food and football. New England vs. New York. These regions have intense rivalries involving sports teams, quality of life, and, yes, food. Let's break down this Super Bowl of Food into the following categories: pizza, burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, ice cream, breakfast, bakeries, and soup. Check out how each team plays. More

For the first time, Tabasco has expanded their lineup to include a Buffalo Style Hot Sauce, that is, a thicker, milder version of their flagship hot sauce specifically aimed to compete with Frank's (the winner of our tasting). Which hot sauce will reign supreme this Super Bowl weekend? More

Buffalo wings are pure, unadulterated, crispy, greasy, hot & vinegary nuggets of awesome. So given that we're going to be eating so many of the suckers, isn't it our national duty—our duty to the birds, even—to make each and every one the best it can possible be? To not—pardon the terrible pun (and all the terrible puns to follow)—simply wing it? I've had my share of greasy, dry, flaccid, burnt, tough, gristly chicken wings. My only goal today is to figure out how to get the best out of each and every drumette and flat, to create a Super Bowl snack worthy of its American heritage. A bird we could really flip for. More

Now that you've heard Ed break down the Giants and 49ers game this weekend—with predicted scores determined by their respective food town cred—it's time to talk about the Patriots and Ravens game. This one might be a little less fair since "New England" covers a sizable territory, but Baltimore has its share of serious eats to be sure. Here's a breakdown of all four quarters in the following categories: shellfish, beef sandwiches, pizza, and sweets. More

The NFC championship game is on Sunday and features teams from two of America's best food cities, San Francisco and New York. As a New Yorker and a serious Giants fan, I am going to try to overcome my intense, enormous bias towards my hometown food and team. 49ers fans should take some solace in the fact that we have some Bay Area natives at SEHQ to keep me in line. Let's score the game by quarters, each with a different category: burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and frozen desserts. More

Such a crazy season calls for crazy playoff parties. Even friends who don't watch football want to come watch the coming games. That's why I'm expanding my typical menu (ribs, wings, guac, chili) to include extra snacks. This platter is a fun, easy twist on cheese and crackers. This year's teams, New York, Baltimore, Boston, and San Francisco, are all amazing food cities and each set of crackers reflects a signature dish. More

Three lucky Serious Eats winners (and their seriously lucky friends) will win a delicious barbecue spread just in time for Super Bowl feasting. The package includes two racks of barbecue champ Mike Mills's famous baby back ribs, two pounds of pulled pork, a half-gallon of the Tangy 17th Street Pit Beans, a bottle of barbecue sauce (original or spicy) and Magic Dust.

For the next few weeks we'll assume that, for some of you at least, the weekend plans revolve around a couch, television, and six-packs (plus or minus wings). That's why we've put together this Game Day page complete with recipes for chili, beer can chicken, guacamole, brownies, and of course slurpable drinks. Particularly mesmerizing is the wings page: just a whole page of wings, yup. More

Last week for our Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to share your Game Day menus for a challenge we called Super Bowl Spreads. Judging by the menus that all of you served last weekend, it looks like you more than covered the spread. Let's take a look at some of our favorites. More
