Taste of the NFL’s Kick Hunger Challenge  pits fans from all 32 NFL markets against each other for a friendly competition to raise money for food banks nationwide. The season-long fundraiser (October through December) kicks off as part of September’s Hunger Action Month and culminates at the 24th Annual Taste of the NFL’s Party with a Purpose held on the eve of Super Bowl XLIX on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015 at WestWorld in Scottsdale. Taste of the NFL is enlisting local restaurants to participate in the challenge to raise funds and compete for a chance to be part of the Taste of the NFL action. All proceeds raised in the “Flavors of the Valley” competition will support St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance in Phoenix and Vista del Camino Food Bank in Scottsdale. The five restaurants that raise the most money during promotion will be invited to participate in the “Flavors of the Valley” area at the Taste of the NFL’s Party with a Purpose.

And a few fun faves…
Favorite Super Bowl memory: Watching the ’79 Steelers beat the Rams at my grandparents house with the whole family gathered around. I can still smell the okra frying in the kitchen.
Favorite sports-watching snack: Wings, no question. The runner up is always Funyons!
Favorite cocktail to whip up for Super Bowl guests: I make a mean margarita. The trick is fresh lime juice and a hint of peach juice to bring out the crispness of the tequila.
