Anna has a sharp opinion on this staple of Super Bowl food. Chef Plum on the other hand, totally disagrees. He has many different ways to make this food. Variety wins.  Anna was by far the smartest person at her super bowl party last night. Or was she? She took a few tips from her sports reporting friend to sound smart. She used them last night during the game. She did her best!  Milan Mania! Chef Plum doesn't believe anyone is really tuned in to the Olympics this year. Lindsay Vonn is injured... again. A sad and scary turn of events that was broadcast live.  Anna's daughter, Dakota, was the Super Bowl commercial shusher last night.
