The National Football League is back, and not a moment to soon for those feeling uncomfortable about shedding a few pounds in the offseason. Rest assured, a new lineup of gut bombs will soon be shoved down the gullet of ravenous fans from Philly to Houston. We can all thank Aramark, which partnered with 11 NFL teams to deliver the “Tribute Menu Series.” The company calls it a tribute to each teams’ heritage and hometown. Jenny Craig and the medical establishment might call it a good way of generating business. But for football diehards that have waited more than 5,000 lonely hours since the last play of the Super Bowl, the following menu samples are just five more reasons to get pumped up for the start of the season. Bad to the Bone Bologna, when Johnny Manziel isn’t enough. For Browns fans, fried bologna might be the only thing worth looking forward to. Especially when it’s cut in the shape of dog bones. And served with bologna cheese sauce. The Emperor was the nickname of famed Steelers coach Chuck Knoll. Now it’s what fans will ask for when they want two patties, shaved kielbasa, and onion bacon kraut. For a touch of Steel City sophistication, it’ll be served on a Brioche bun. The 40 for 60 Burger, created for Vikings fans and named for Joe Kapp’s philosophy: 40 men playing as one for 60 minutes. So it’s 40% bacon, 60% beef and 100% culinary genius. Just add bacon, a fried egg and a pretzel bun. The Tailgate Stack is a hat tip to the tailgating culture of Arrowhead Stadium. Burnt ends smothered in gobs of cheese and malted beer grain syrup. Add in some requisite bacon, a fried egg, and deep fried bread. If Kansas City Chiefs fans can survive a 2-14 record in 2012, they just might be able to survive this. The Red Sail Dog isn’t as over-the-top as the others, but two words: Sriracha mustard. The Hebrew National hot dog also comes with red sauerkraut and scallion curls, on a split top bun. It’s named after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo. Source: marketwatch.com
