Our favorite (shhhh!) Top Chef All Stars contestant Richard Blais thinks standard Super Bowl snacks are a tad tame. In the debut of his weekly segment on our Senior Junk Food Correspondent Ali Velshi's show, he amps up sweetbreads, cocktails and so much more for a game day feast that's out of this world.
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is wonderful, let alone the content!

I strongly suggest that you issue a warning regarding the hazardous nature of this technique!!!
While watching this margarita technique, I envisioned the partiers deciding after a couple (or more) beers that this would be a cool trick. Next I see several fans standing around the mixer while one pours liquid nitrogen into the mix. I noticed that neither you nor the chef was wearing protective gear – not even eye protection. Liquid nitrogen is notorious for splashing, so by half-time, it should be expected that some small number of your encouraged viewers will dump the LN2 too quickly or erratically and cause a splash. A drop or two of liquid nitrogen ( -321 degrees F) will instantly freeze some of the human tissue (think eyeball) with which it makes contact. This is hazardous material for which OSHA has guidelines.

Thanks, Bill Nye. I'll make sure to wear my helmet the next time I run to the end of the driveway to check my mail.

I still can't quite get over being weirded out by the fact that the still shot of the show here includes the headline "Man blames TSD after allegedly killing 100 sled dogs."

Richard Blais has been on CNN quite often recently. It makes me wonder if he won 'Top Chef: All Stars', but the networks are keeping it under wraps.

This is cool but not that practical.
Is the Superbowl more about the food and commercials than about the game?

I would say that football in general is more about the experience that it is the game. Unless you are a die hard foodball fan.

I agree – definitely not practical. If someone is having a Superbowl party, what they serve will depend on the host (how good a cook) and the guests (how adventurous are they food-wise). I think there are some folks that will never serve anything but bagged chips and packaged dips because that's the extent of their abilities and/or imagination.
The Superbowl in and of itself is all about football. People who have parties to watch the Superbowl are into having a social event. That's the difference.

Since I have to work on Super Bowl Sunday, and I work in electronics sales, we're always looking for ways to get more people up to the department to check things out. Now, I wonder if I can get the company I work for to spring for an immersion circulator and a liquid nitrogen tank...
