Well gameday food doesn't just have to be for football or tailgating, we have the Daytona 500 coming, The Master's (great foodie event
), MLB Spring Training even a few TV games there, NBA if you're so inclined and of course THE NFL DRAFT April 26-28, but what now?
How about the Olympics! Well an excuse to grill on Sunday today Porterhouse steaks, baked potatoes with the works, veggies TBD at grilling time and naturally Sam Adams Boston Lager......ummmmm. Got to love those Olympics, GO USA!

NASCAR puts me to sleep- haven't watched in years. Now as to your menu- very similar. We celebrated Mardi Gras a few days early- watching the Olympics together. Almost duplicated your menu. Prime Porterhouse on the grill, ditto the baked potatoes. Mushrooms and onion rings soaked in Pine Club beef gravy. Since the wifie has decided to temporarily switch from beer to wine. Opened a 1982 Chateau Leoville Poyferre. 98+ point wine, and I'm seriously tempted to give it a perfect 100 score. I won't open something that good (not replaceable at current prices) and be a pig about it without sharing it with someone. Sue was wondering why I was slurping it down- because it was that good. Finished with a 2009 Dow Late Bottled Vintage port with roquefort on the side.

I've always lobbied for the figure 8 track like the old slot car days.

I'm not a big Indy or NASCAR fan like in decades past but like to tune in to the starts and then tune in/out occasionally. Daytona and the groundhog have February sports pretty well locked up now.......
........except for the once in every four years Olympics.

One of these years I may actually make the 1/2 hour little trek down to see World class Formula One racing at the US Grand Prix Circuit of the Americas track in Austin , the only pure racing out there IMO.

I used to have the figure 8 track with a Lionel crossing too. That was fun but a little of Gomez Addams dynamite would have been the frosting on the cake.

Fun topic. Some good chow listed.
We like to do a "feast on the blood of our enemies" process where we eat typical foods popular in our opponent's cities:
- Cincinnati chili for the Bengals, I like dogs, wife does pasta.
- Cabbage rolls or City Chicken for Pittsburgh.
- Pit Beef for Baltimore, no good crabs around SE Ohio.
Something Cajun if we play New Orleans...you get the idea. Nice way to have Cincy Chili twice a year.
Always match whatever we make with some Devil's Kettle brews.

Aquired taste? Many local treats are that way......and you better like cheese here!

Reminds me of the "clam" chowder my wife and I got at a restaurant in Cheyenne once. They said it was the specialty of the house and people came from miles around to get it. They were right about one thing, you could not use "clams" to describe it, only clam because that was the count in each of our bowls. We had to explain to them that my wife was raised on the water in R.I. and knew what real N.E. clam chowder was supposed to be and that wasn't it. Now living here in Texas I can see that your spaghetti up there in no way resembles chili. LOL!

Agreed- Skyline and Gold Star are abominations. I'm a purist when it comes to food- give me spaghetti with marinara. Keep the frickin' chilli separate.
Local stuff gets overblown. Wife is from Toledo, and for the life of me I don't get all warm and fuzzy about the "World Famous" Tony Packo's hot dog- cheese optional. It's OK bar food, but I wouldn't make a special trip to have one. It's like the Original Arthur Bryant's rib joint in KC- it was a dive when we visited 20 years ago. (though the food was better than Tony's) But like Packo's, the celebrity autographs on the wall are impressive.

How anyone can eat Cincinnati chili is beyond me, it tastes like someone poured a blended pumpkin pie into chili. So weird.
Oh my wife, the scratch cook, saw the picture and thought it was gross! I hope it isn't Cincinnati's finest dish I spent time in cinci during the 1970s visiting a friend in college, later his wedding had some pretty good food......but that was eons ago.
I'll take Chicago and of course good ol' NE OHIO.
......and Pittsburgh not bad!

#1...I LOVE seafood, but I WILL NOT order it inland. If you have ever eaten good seafood on the coast, you'll understand.
#2...Cincinnati chili (IMHO) SUCKS! Family members LOVE it, but I was very disappointed. I like good, spicy chili & that means with NO BEANS!!! For hotdogs, I "tweeked" a Mr Food coney sauce recipe that has become a favorite among friends.
