Food of the Opposing Team

Background is a photo of meat on a barbeque. Over the top of that is the logo for FOTOT with a hand holding a football, a fork, a spatula, and The Bridge logo

  • Week 4 and we’re back in L.A. *cue Randy Newman* We did Philippe’s French Dip when we played the Chargers and while I was very tempted to try to replicate the magic that is In-N-Out burger, I decided to tap into LA Street foods instead.
  • Week 4 vs New England. It’s not time for chowder yet, although it is easily one of my favorite foods of the season. We will hold off until our December meeting for that, and while there’s still some warmth in the air, let's dive into lobster rolls.
  • Week 3 Food of the Opposing Team brings us to Los Angeles, where my research told me I had to do one of three things: In-N-Out Burger, street tacos, or Philippe’s French Dip. I went with the French dip not just because it’s a delicious sandwich that can certainly support a day of sports fandom, but because it’s got a lot of history as well.
  • Week 2 means Detroit, which is known for a few different foods. Recently, Detroit-style pizza has been gaining popularity, but we went with the classic “Coney’s,” as they are known.
  • One of my favorite parts of the football season is just a reason to get together with a bunch of people every week and have a party. A few years back my group of friends thought it would be fun, and maybe even educational, to research and make recipes from the regions of our weekly opponents.
