Consider this situation: Super Bowl Sunday is upon us. You ask what you can bring and your host says "I don't know, chips?" That's how you get a party with 15 bags of chips and no mini meatball subs. Don't let that be your party. Check out ten of our favorite snacks to bring to…

Welcome to the FResh List! Each week, the dedicated staffers in FR’s New York City office compile a list of all the random things on their minds in the world of food and drink and beyond. These are their latest obsessions, rounded up in a somewhat organized fashion: ♦♦♦ 1. Pumpkin, hold the spice: It's the next big thing.…

Food and drink is usually a big theme in the multimillion-dollar advertising blitz that accompanies the Super Bowl. This year was no different, with television commercials ranging from aliens eating guacamole to an anthropomorphic beer-tap handle dispensing insults. But maybe the most memorable food-themed message of the night came not from a brewer, restaurant chain…

You don't really want to be the person face-deep in a hoagie when the urge to jump off the couch and scream at the TV strikes. That's how you get hoagie on the floor. And hoagie on the floor, friends, is a party foul. Nip this common Super Bowl problem in the bud by making…

Have you been to the Super Bowl? Probably not. That's okay, me neither. The tickets aren't really available to the general public. You already know that it's unlike any other sporting event in the world, with the cost of entry typically being thousands of dollars. And with tens of thousands of high rollers thrown together into…

Last year at Super Bowl time, in a nationally televised pregame interview, President Barack Obama was asked to make a crucial decision, one that revealed the commander-in-chief's true allegiances once and for all. Mr. President, which do you prefer: Chicken wings, or chips and guacamole? "Now, that's tough," the president told NBC's Savannah Guthrie. "You…

We know you’ll be watching the big game this Sunday and that you’ll likely be enjoying inordinate amounts of wings, chips and dip and washing it all down with a brew or three. But what to eat after Coldplay and Beyoncé make their exits and the third quarter rolls around? Truth be told, there really is no…

An artist’s rendition of the new warmest spot at Lambeau Field[/caption] Normally when you think about Wisconsin beers, big names like Miller, Old Milwaukee, Leinenkugel and Point come to mind. The proud cheesehead fans of the Green Bay Packers are working-class folk, so you’d think that they would carry these megabreweries’ products in their lunch…

One chicken wing recipe will not suffice. You can't just shake Frank's Red Hot over "a bunch of wings" and call the results an acceptable contribution to a Super Bowl spread. Now is the time to take the blank canvas that is the wing of the chicken (cut into two easy-to-eat sections) and apply your…

It's time, everyone, it's time! No, not to stock up your fridge for the blizzard, that's old news. The actual news is Super Bowl Sunday is this Sunday (yes, this Sunday!) which means it's time to clean out the supermarket shelves for an entirely different reason: you'll need fuel to yell at the TV. And,…

All right folks, it's now or never. You haven't practiced your tailgating dips in a while and that's okay. You've been busy. But it's...wait for it...crunch time! Pick up some avocados, salsa fixin's and cheese. Bust out the mixing bowls and get smashing, blending, melting and, at long last, dipping. It's Super Bowl season, and…

There's a pretty high chance your team is no longer in the NFL playoffs (#LOLJets). There's also a pretty high chance you'll still be glued to your television watching the AFC and NFC Conference Championships this Sunday. And with the featured matchups, why wouldn't you be? Aaron Rodgers will try to tame the 12th man…

Move over, popcorn chicken, there's a new addictive fried chicken bite in town (if the town is Taiwan). Salt and pepper chicken is one of the country's most popular street foods, and unlike chargrilled blood sausage skewers, pork buns, hand-pulled noodles and other things I'll be eating at the Taste Taiwan Culinary Tour, you can…

Both the NFL and college football seasons are in full gear, and while we're curious to find out if the Seahawks and Seminoles can pull off repeats, we're even more excited about the start of another season: tailgating season. There's no better time to fire up the grill for burgers and brats and washing 'em…

Michelin-starred chef and longtime San Francisco 49ers fan Michael Mina used to host some pretty epic tailgate parties in the parking lot outside the football stadium. This year, the 49ers have brought Mina's party inside. The team's brand-spankin' new Levi's Stadium includes a full-service restaurant under Mina's multi-locational Bourbon Steak brand, where the chef now…

Welcome to the party! Grab a cracker and get intimate with Reuben Dip, the most awesome snack on the table. Since Reuben sandwiches make for an awkward party food, I decided to level the playing field and melt the sandwich filling down into a cheesy, tangy, corned beefy fondue. Or pastrami, of course. You can…

Canadians must know what they're doing, because anyone who thinks to combine French fries, cheese and gravy into one harmonious dish is genius in our book. Making fries at home can be laborious and messy to boot, and since we're obsessed with anything pretzel (especially for the start of football season) we've made our mark…

I love potato skins, but the combination of bacon, melted cheddar and melting sour cream can actually be a little too much even for a dish that's meant to be shameless. Don't shoot, I'm only human. Instead, I load my potato skins with creamy homemade spinach feta dip, sprinkle with parmesan and broil 'til crispy…

The 2014 NFL season will kick off tonight in spectacular fashion, as the defending champion, defensive-minded Seattle Seahawks host the explosive, Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers in a rematch of the notorious Fail Mary game just two years ago (remember the replacement refs?) Since your attention will undoubtedly be focused on game action over the…

I love making appetizers that are two or more dishes in one. Take chorizo potato bites for instance: they're "deviled eggs meet potato skins that also meet chorizo potato tacos." When it comes to snack food, hybridize all you want. That means not choosing between spicy popcorn chicken, sesame-orange chicken and chicken wings, because you…

We've been ready to kick off football season for months! Beyond the never-ending entertainment and chance to lose all our money in fantasy pools, the season stars some of our favorite food of the year. Polish up your Frydaddy game, smash up some avocados and pick up some slider buns, cause it's officially that time.…

Molly Quirk is chef/owner of Sips & Bites in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you haven't had a thoughtfully handcrafted sandwich in a while, there's no better place to get your fix. She's generously donating a few of her party food recipes to our cause: feeding people at parties. Hot wings are probably the ultimate party food. They are a…
