The hallmark of any chinese take out are these. If they don't have any of these items, look elsewhere.

(1) Beef chow fun, dry style, with little oil -- gwon chow gnow haw
(2) Tomatoe beef chow mein, crispy noodle, hong kong style -- fon ke gnow chow mein, hong kong chow.

If they barbeque their own meats on the premises (3) anything that looks good over rice is good.

For comfort food, try (4) pig nuckle noodle soup -- gee siew mein tong.

if you are looking for private classes or if you have a group to put together, i teach classes in my home or yours. thanks, ronnie

Black Bean Chicken, Garlic Chicken and Mongolian Beef

I loooove egg foo young!!! Everyone looks at me like I'm from an alien planet when I'm eating that. I could live off that stuff. And crab rangoon. So, creamy and delicious. We do have the hobo style and not the funky triangle version. With lots of filling too. And egg rolls!!! I love those too! I'm so not healthy when it comes to chinese food. Man, I want some chinese now.

I'm based in France... so I had dinner way before the Superbowl would even happen. Still... got all festive... went with sausage, potatoes and guacamole, but done french style. So boudin blanc aux trompettes de mort, carottes de sable, roasted salt potatoes and guacamole à la poire. Enjoy and GO BEARS!

Sent to me via mail (frozen with dry ice) from my dad in Chicago!

Every year I have the basics; beer, shrimp, and chicken wings. These are appetizers for my favorite food, hot dogs. This year I will be having a special hot dog. I live in N.J. but several years ago I came across numerous posts extolling the virtues of the Romanian Kosher Sausage Company's hot dogs. I had someone send me some. They are excellent hot dogs, beefy and a well balanced flavor profile. Chicago dogs are a little less spicy/garlicky than New York beef dogs. Although Vienna Beef franks are served at over 80% of the hot dog restaurants in Chicago, Romanian's are better. I compared the 2 brands side by side at home. I'm lucky to have a place near me (J's Beef in Linden, N.J.) that serves an authentic Chicago style dog with ingredients shipped in from Chicago. Although the Vienna frank may not be my favorite beef dog, it is a good choice for a Chicago hot dog as it blends in well and doesn't overpower the other ingredients. The Romanian Kosher frank is one of the best dogs I've ever had along with Best's (Newark, N.J., not Chicago) Sabrett, (Papaya King and Katz's use these dogs) Usinger's and Thumanns. Made in a kosher butcher shop in Chicago, these dogs are actually Glatt Kosher. Many people claim that the salami made here is the best they've had. I would recommend this place to anyone living in or around Chicago. Unfortunately, they do not do mail orders.

Chili, lots of chips, an assortment of dips and a blueberry pie.

We have some frozen bear in our freezer so we will make a stew on Saturday afternoon.

We will be drinking Colt 45.

Our tradition is to go to our local pizza place and take full advantage of the salad bar. We almost never drink alcohol and sodas or tea are bottomless glasses so the beverages are quite reasonable. At half time we order a pizza. Usually by the last quarter we are back at the salad bar perusing the fruits and other sweet items. It works out quite nicely and all for about ten bucks a head.

Someday our beloved 'Niners will be there again! (We might have to celebrate a little harder than salads and pizza when that happens.)

I changed my mind. We're making bratwurst stewed with sauerkraut. Classic!

Oh -- typically I hate that set-up, where YOU have to mix and match the bread, protein, cheese, veggies/toppings. Luckily, they do have some standard sandwiches, but in general, I hate having to come up with a combo. I'm not the sandwich artist; they are, presumably. So THEY should be making good combos. There's too much danger in letting me muck about with it.

My contribution will be homemade pimiento cheese.
