How many "XXX" chicken wings can you can eat in 5 minutes?
Del Ray Pizzeria on Mount Vernon Avenue is hosting a chicken wing eating contest on Sunday during halftime of Super Bowl XLVII. “We were thinking we weren’t too excited about either of the teams, so we thought a wing eating contest might be a way to have some more fun,” DRP Chef Eric Reid said. The winner of the contest will be determined by who can eat the most “XXX” wings—the restaurant’s hottest variety—in 5 minutes. Those interested in competing can register for the contest at the DRP bar. There is a $15 registration fee. The winner will take home a $50 Del Ray Pizzeria gift card, a six-pack of Bell’s Hopslam Ale and a T-shirt.

Who's going to win—the Baltimore Ravens or the San Francisco 49ers? History favors the Ravens. Give us a prediction in the comments!
Super Bowl XLVII is coming up Sunday in New Orleans—the Baltimore Ravens will face the San Francisco 49ers. An added twist this year is brother vs. brother head coaches. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers, and his brother John coaches the Ravens. (What are the odds that two brothers will become head coaches in the NFL and face each other in the Super Bowl? Find out here.) When these two teams square off Sunday, it will be the fifth time they've met since the Ravens first season in Baltimore in 1996. The Ravens has won three games—in 2003, 2007 and 2011. The 49ers won in 1996. * [More: History of the San Francisco 49ers - Ravens games.] Where to Watch Super Bowl XLVII in Alexandria and Washington Alexandria has plenty of sports bars with …

Middle East meets Southwest for a football inspired dip
As Super Bowl Sunday was nearing, I was left trying to find a dish that I could bring to my neighborhood party. What could I bring that might appeal to both the adults and the children party-goers? A good friend of mine suggested a fantastic rendition of the seven-layer bean dip but with a twist. As I read the contents of the recipe, I got excited thinking this might be something that my boys would actually eat. Funny how the children of a chef are the pickiest eaters. This is completely frustrating but I hope they outgrow this some day soon. I can only hope. Instead of using refried beans and cheddar cheese, hummus and feta are substituted. My boys love hummus and not only is this version healthy, I can serve it with raw vegetables and …
