Mary Berg abides by the steakhouse ethos for side dishes: stuff it and coat it in cheese! She uses this rule for her Stuffed Mushrooms prepped two ways -- crab cake style and garlicky cheese style -- and her Shrimp Scampi Stuffed Potato. For greens that can stand out next to a sizzling hunk of meat, Mary makes a Cheesy Broccoli and Cauliflower Skillet with crispy panko topping and a classic Wedge Salad with homemade blue cheese dressing.
Why make the same game day food year in and year out, when you can create something new? Kelsey visits Marc Matyas of the New York City's Nolita House for a little game day gourmet inspiration.

Fueled by Marc's unique ideas and techniques, Kelsey creates her own game day dishes the gourmet way with Spicy Crab Cake Poppers, Buffalo Chicken Lollies with blue cheese dip, and broiled Sweet Pepper Poppers with goat cheese.

There is something so American about an afternoon tending the grill and Bobby Flay continues that tradition with some luscious stateside treats, like his Grilled Soft Shell Crab Sandwich topped with Red Slaw and sweet Yellow Tomatoes. Then Chef Flay crisps up a treat from his city childhood with his version of everyone's favorite lunch on the go, New York Street Cart Dogs with Onion Sauce and Grilled Red Pepper Relish. The true magic of American fire-cooking is achieved with his low and slow Smoked Prime Rib topped with a Red Wine Steak Sauce that evokes the red leather banquettes of a classic steakhouse. A Sweet Cherry Slushy brings refreshment and color to this feast celebrating the delicious Red, White and Blue.
