The Season Closer

A tough season comes to a close against the Minnesota Vikings. A well put together and talented Bears team dealt with a character building season as a result of key injuries. Highlights included a delightful 5 game winning streak and Peanut Tillman's long overdue invitation to the Pro Bowl.

This up and down season comes to an end against Minnesota on New Years Day. Neither team has a chance of going to the playoffs so this game is for bragging rights only. Both teams have had key players hurt so hopefully everyone will stay healthy and will play a fan-friendly game.

When thinking about a fan-friendly menu I am drawn to some Minneapolis-St. Paul cuisine I haven't explored before. Hotdish is a term applied to a variety of comfort foods and casseroles. A Juicy Lucy is a hamburger with cheese in the center. Pick your poison Bears fans and Bear down!
