A hardy few of you submitted recipes for our chili contest, and by now you've probably thought we forgot all about it. But just in time for the Super Bowl, we have a winner. We chose this recipe because it's different than your average chili... Indeed, it's called Sri-Lankan - American Chili. The winner, from Silver Spring, MD., gets this fantastic slow-cooker: We love this recipe for its heat, but it doesn't burn. It's not...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Just like the Cardiac Cardinals of yesteryear, these mashed potatoes are stunners. Yes, it's Thanksgiving, so time for something a little different. Also like the old Cards, these Cardiac Potatoes can be unhealthy on a regular basis, as you'll see by the ingredients. But as you enjoy the new Cards with friends and family (prediction: they will trounce those other birds from Philly), serve these and count the OMGs you get back. Guys, you can...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

But not that chunky kind in a can that's on all the commercials with football players. You don't need us for that. What I like is a soup that warms the innards with a little help from the liquor cabinet. Like, say, bourbon. So if you've got a good thermos and you're headed out to see the 'Skins host Dallas, or the Steelers or Bills at home, or you just want something different at home,...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Actually, I don't. I am a Packers fan through and through, so this is my big game this week. Which means that even though the game is in Minneapolis, we're gonna talk about stuff with cheese. First, we stumbled upon the following recipe, which is just about the most cheesealicious thing ever to be found on a football fan site. Seriously, you gotta try this, straight from www.packalope.com. As the little baby on those...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

If I've been asked once, I've been asked a hundred times... when people hear I'm from New York City, they want to know where they can find that reddish-orange onion sauce that hot dog vendors serve on the streets of the Big Apple. New York City dogs, under that blue and yellow Sabrett umbrella, are a memory as strong as any in my childhood. The dogs, long and thin, sitting in the cart's boiled water....Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

C'mon, you know you want one. And this elegant slow cooker could be yours, just by submitting a chili recipe that we here at League Eats deem the best. This cooker is a beauty, no? ... 1.5 quarts, which is perfect for that small Sunday or Monday night get together, or even tailgating if you have a generator. So here's how this works: E-mail your recipe to league@washingtonpost.com, and we'll cook and taste the...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Chargers at the Bills on Sunday. Pretty big game. Who da thunk? Yes, those Bills, coming off a bye week, are 4-1. The Chargers are 3-3, but they just whupped the Brady-less Pats something awful, and the preseason favorite of many seems finally poised for a strong run. So it puts us in mind of Buffalo wings, those messy but oh-so-good, lip-smacking items that were invented in Buffalo. (Also, the San Diego Chicken used to...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

So the plate sits over the bottle (or can), allowing you to carry both in one hand and eat with the other. Obviously you can't just tip and drink; you lift the plate off to take a sip. We're not sure about this whole idea. More info is here. Thoughts?...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Look, we can fight until the off-season about which part of the country has the best ribs. And we like 'em all, from the mustard-based sauces in Panther-land to the dry-rubs in Texas, the smokey flavors of KC to the vinegar style in Tennessee. What we'd rather do is cook up some of the easiest and best ribs ever and still leave you with time for a little two-hand touch before kickoff. The great thing...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

You're asking: What's a food blog doing here? You're thinking: My definition of a gourmet is The Commish in the More Taste League beer ads. You're saying: Shut up and pass the pizza. We say, good food makes football better, whether you're grilling at home, tailgating, or (oof) eating concessions at the game. We think arguing about how to do the best ribs, or chili, or chip dip is almost as much fun as fighting...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.
