Shay Hill — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:48:42 +0000

The Super Bowl is a great excuse to get your friends and family together and have some fun food. Notice I didn't say healthy food. Who has salads on game day? I have never personally had a party for the Super Bowl so I needed some ideas about what people liked to eat before I made my menu. I decided the best way to go about that was to just ask my friends. Most of what I found was this is going to be fairly easy to throw together. Here are some of the most popular foods that were suggested

Emerald Catron — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:57:31 +0000

Maybe Subway is stepping up their game a tad. They've made it abundantly clear that they now have avocados and sriracha sauce, and they will NOT be putting ketchup on anybody's sandwich. At all. They don't even have ketchup, and one employee was willing to fight to prove it. They don't call them sandwich artists for nothing.

Danny Gallagher — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 22:30:35 +0000

Bacon is one of the few foods on this Earth that is perfect and beautiful all by itself, it doesn’t need seasoning or melted cheese.
