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

Happy 21st Birthday Berg

On this day (May 3) in 1991 the Berg was born.  I don't know how many pounds and ounces the guy was, all I knew was that I had a little brother.  And it's been boy-oh-boy ever since.

With Berg turning 21 today I think it's an opportune time to give you some background on where the name "Berg" actually came from.  For those of you aren't fully aware of the name origin it all started back when we were kids.  During the days of summer it was standard for us to play out on the street and make trips to the community pool.  We would spend hours upon hours playing baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and any other sport we could think of until we got called in for dinner.

The house across the street from us had two boys roughly around the same age as Chase and I so competitive 2-on-2 games were conveniently arranged.  In our neighborhood also lived a couple of Anaheim Ducks hockey players.  Because of this, we were all into hockey.  We would play hockey with a tennis ball serving as our puck with one scorer and one goalie to a side.
