Game Grub

When people watch sports, whether it be live or in the friendly confines of their own home, there is, among other things, food. Throughout the course of time, especially in America, there has been a strong relationship between food and sports viewership. Understanding the importance of this connection, I've put together a list of the best possible food choices when watching a particular sport. Now I'm only focusing on the food aspect here, but it should go without saying that a cold beverage is a mandatory part of your meal and/or your game. Never leave a soldier behind.

Anyways, without any further ado here are a few sports accompanied with their recommended meal. Bon Appetit everybody.


BASEBALL: Hot Dog, Bratwurst
Recommended Sides: Watermelon, Baked Beans, Corn, Salad, French Fries

Fire up the grill, throw some brats or dogs on there maybe grill up some onions and let it ride. Ketchup, mustard, relish, sauerkraut, peppers, however you like it just be sure to give the bun a minute or two on the grill to give it a nice toasty taste. I don't think you can wrong with this option as it is a pretty standard food choice for a pretty standard game.



BASKETBALL: Steak
Recommended Sides: Salad, Rice, Steamed Vegetables, Potatoes
The best game to watch and play deserves only the best when it comes to food. A well-seasoned, juicy steak accompanied with a nice salad and rice always does the trick. Maybe add some A1 sauce or Worcestershire sauce depending on the mood but whatever you do, make sure you're cutting that bad boy with CUTCO - the finest kitchen cutlery in the world

Stay in Your Seats Please

There was a day when streaking was something to spice up a sporting event. Who could forget the Anna Kournikova streaker at Wimbledon? That was well planned, a good play on a marketing slogan, and it was perfect timing at a widely televised sporting event.

A catchy slogan which a streaker used to his advantage

But streaking has become a lost art these days. Too many people aren't showing enough skin, there isn't great timing, the planning and execution is just poor, and there just isn't something that has wowed us lately. The act of streaking has become too much about the streaker, and less about the level of entertainment. Yes, eyes are supposed to be focused on you, but give us something to watch. You're supposed to be a refreshing break of entertainment from a sporting event that I paid to come see, so don't just be a drunk fool. If I wanted to watch a drunk guy at a sporting event I would much rather google Joe Namath's interview with Suzy Kolber on Monday Night Football.

All I'm saying is if you feel compelled to get out of your seat and streak onto a professional playing field ask this question before you do- What are you bringing to the table? Or in this case, what are you bringing to the game? If it is nothing more than drunken figure eights trying to avoid the security guard, then spare us and stay in your seats. Besides, these days everyone is getting involved to stop the streakers, and that has become more entertaining than the streaking itself.

Until next time, this is the Berg just trying to stay relevant.
