Today's Entertainment

There is a major sporting event happening next weekend. You may have heard something about it. And if you happen to be lucky – or unlucky – enough to be hosting a Super Bowl get-together next Sunday, you may be finding yourself at a loss as to what to serve. And for that, the good folks at Food Network have some ideas in big game-themed programs airing this week. After all, Super Bowl parties aren't just dogs, burgers, pizza and beer anymore – not that there's anything wrong with that. Sunday, Jan. 31, the Network presents the second half of its "Big Game Party Weekend Cooking Block," featuring tips from some of its top personalities. On "Guy's Big Bite," Guy Fieri offers up an all-meat, no beans Texas-style chili that comes with beer cheddar cheese sauce and a side of potato skins with leeks, mushrooms, brie and prosciutto. On "Brunch at Bobby's," Bobby Flay puts out a Southwestern-themed Super Bowl spread featuring a burrito stuffed with salsa verde chicken, scrambled eggs and cheese with a side of crispy green onion-spiced mustard hash browns and a citrus-flavored beer-gin cocktail. Fans of Tex-Mex, this one's for you. That same day on "Giada Entertains," Giada De Laurentiis hosts what she calls "the ultimate football viewing party," with ideas on everything from food and seating to drinks and even friendly wagers. And on "Southern at Heart," comfort food is on the menu as Damaris Phillips whips up a fresh baked ham sliced thin, served on a sweet roll and topped with fried pickles with cajun aioli. Dieters tune in at your own risk. Monday, Feb. 1, bar foods take center stage on "Top 5 Restaurants," as Sunny Anderson, Geoffrey Zakarian present their picks for best pub comestibles. Among their selections are beer- soaked sausage, crispy-chewy wings, ribs and fully-loaded potatoes. Get your game face on. Competition series get into the act later in the week, starting Tuesday, Feb. 2, on "Chopped," as judges Eddie Jackson, Aarón Sánchez and Chris Santos sample the creations of four tailgating fanatics who are none-too-pleased to find a vegetarian pattie in their ingredient basket in the opening round. That's right, vegetarian. It gets better in the second round as the mandatory ingredients are sausage and cheese. And Thursday, Feb. 4, on "Beat Bobby Flay," chef and former Canadian football player Deji Oduwole and competition fanatic Zane Holmquist leaves it all on the field as they go one on one with Flay. If these suggestions don't spark your interest, don't forget to check your local listings this week for Super Bowl fare ideas on programs such as "CBS This Morning," NBC's "Today," and ABC's "Good Morning America" and "The Chew."
