Super Bowl 51 Throwdown
 
This TD is by reservation ONLY and you must pick an available team from this list and represent that area's food (city, state, or region respectively). If you have not registered, you may still do so during the TD and enter.
 
You do not have to cook on Super Bowl day, you can enter any "casual grub" that you would serve while entertaining that represents the city, state, or region you chose. This is all about our nation's food and not the game itself, and anyone from any country can enter.
 
The registration form may give a better idea as to the challenge:

VIEW POLL BEFORE VOTING AND ONLY CHOOSE AN AVAILABLE OPTION
 
The February TD will be by registration only via this form (poll) but it will remain open during the TD, so you can still enter on the fly (and there will be selections left as there are 32!)
 
What am I talking about?
 
The next TD is Super Bowl weekend! So instead of everyone cooking random food the day of the SB, we're going to celebrate this country's great food! (Anyone from any country can enter!)
 
The NFL has 32 teams. You pick the team's hometown food you want to cook by selecting a team in the poll. This is your registration in the TD, first come first serve, one team per person.
 
Do your best to represent the actual area in the team name, whether it's a city, state, or region (New England, Carolinas). The idea being iconic "casual grub" known to be served in that area.
 
TDs last 4 days so you don't have to cook the day of the game, but this should be "casual grub" that can be enjoyed during a game or get together. The Super Bowl is often pizza and wings (still good choices but...) this lets you expand your horizons on game day, or, stick to your finger foods on game day, and cook for the TD one of the other days! (Or prep, hint hint, smoking, etc.)
 
Philly's famous sandwich? BBQ or Cajun? Lobsta? Cheese?!! Don't forget the birthplace of wings has a team! So many choices represent iconic food! You can even riff on a famous restaurant, like how Pittsburgh is known for fries on top of a sandwich thanks to one restaurant. Cincinnati and Detroit have similar stories. You don't have to pick your favorite team or your own hometown, simply pick what you want to cook, by choosing the poll option above!
 
If your #1 choice is taken, please don't be afraid to research an area's food and enter, ALL of these are great food areas!

Must include a hot pepper ingredient.
 
Post as much as you wish in this topic; teasers, etc. but:
 
To enter the TD, please reply to the TD topic with:
a) A name for your creation.
b) The team you chose and how that food represents that area.
c) A list of all ingredients used.
d) Recipes that include preparation steps, cooking methods, times and temperatures, etc.
 
Remember, of course, your entry must include a hot pepper ingredient.
 
In order to prove that you made this meal for this TD we ask that you post a Proof of Life. PoL = a monetary amount stated at the beginning of the competition that must be shown in one of your pictures with coins or bills, in your country's tender. It must be a picture that shows the majority of  ingredients used, so, it may be your teaser, or one of your final pics, but change by itself or with just one ingredient does not count.
 
Reminder: Send me the link to the final post or it will not be included in the poll. Thanks!
 
You can post anything that represents the area selected. From sampler platters, to entrees with traditionally served sides, to a slice of pie that represents the area. Just post your party food and have fun.
 
That's never been the case, fries with a burger can be fries but if serving something on the side that could eat like a meal I would personally. A platter of finger food I'd make as many as spicy as possible but may want to leave a classic alone as long as something is spicy on that plate, etc. Basically like always.
 
If you want to make an absolute classic that is never spicy you just have to think outside the box and serve a spicy dipping sauce for other guests, or put some sliced jalapenos on the side, etc. Or make it spicy! :D

I haven't looked forward to a TD this much in a long time! Not just because there are 18 entrants, but just the sheer variety is going to be awesome! If there was ever a TD I wish we were all together for, this would be it. Maybe THP could make a dirty water dog, the "right way", just to round things out NYC style.
