All American Cooking Team

Super Bowl 50 is just two weeks away.  The NFL Pro Bowl is this weekend.  While watching ESPN today I started thinking about the different all star teams that are selected.  All the major sports have all star teams, MVPs, etc.  The local newspapers tout high school and college athletes.  We have academic All Conference players,  top ten plays of the week,  best cities for retirement and even the three best places one of the Kardashians had sex.


Since part of Super Bowl celebration involves copious amounts of food, I got to thinking about food I have eaten.  I recalled my early days in Chattanooga, TN when a neighbor shared some of the best potato salad I had ever eaten.  I never forgot her and the sharing that took place in those days.  Therefore, I offer my All Time best food not cooked by my wife.

Red Beans and Rice                                                           Linda Katz
Some kind of Corn Relish                                                 Kathy Cordray

I am sure that I left some off.  If you have a particular dish you think deserves the list, let me know when it is ready and I will evaluate it for future consideration.
