Are You Ready for Some Football Food?

For many fans Sunday's Superbowl is as much about the food as the football. Here are some places in TE that can help you score big.

The Superbowl is on Sunday. If you're planning a party or just a menu for the big game now may the best time to order. If you're thinking about cooking, Patch has some snack food recipe ideas. If you're thinking about ordering, now is probably the best time. For caterers, take out places and restaurants Superbowl Sunday is often one of the busiest days of the year. For pizza delivery places it can be insanely busy. The best idea: order ahead. Homecooked in Paoli will make the whole meal for you, but you need to order by Wednesday, January 30 at 6 p.m. The store requires you to pick up and you'll need to heat up what you order- but you don't have to cook.  Among the items on the menu as promoted in a Homecooked email: New for Super Bowl …

Pizza or Wings for the Big Game Menu?

TE Patch readers voted favorites for both.

Superbowl Sunday is one of the biggest days of the year for take-out pizza and chicken wings orders. And if you're planning on ordering for game time or even pre-game you may want to consider ordering early. Several local restaurants and carryout places told Patch they're expected an onslaught, starting when the pre-game shows go on the air in the afternoon. At Pizza Hut/Wing Street in Paoli Friday afternoon staffers recommended calling in early on Superbowl Sunday. It's certainly not a requirement, but they say it just helps with preparation time and speed. Several others area take-out places Patch spoke with late in the week echoed those sentiments, especially if you're going to have an unusually large order. The wholesale cost of …

Super Time in Indy For Herzlich Brothers

It's the stuff every kid's backyard football fantasy is made of.

For a pair of local brothers this is one super weekend in Indianapolis. Brad and Mark Herzlich have been sharing bits and pieces of Super Bowl week and weekend with the world via Twitter. You've got to figure it's like living the fantasy that many young kids only dream of as they snap the ball and offer the running play-by-play in the backyard: "it's fourth and ten, 30 seconds to go and the score is tied....he takes the snap, he's looking, looking, the fate of the Super Bowl resting on this one play..." For the brothers who grew up in Wayne and graduated Conestoga High School this Superbowl appears to be even sweeter than the dream of every young backyard touch football player. Less than two years ago doctors told Mark Herzlich he would …

Even Before First Snap, Herzlich's a Winner

Conestoga sports legend is about to play in America's biggest game, but just getting there makes him a big winner, even before the first play of the game.

At the end of his rookie year, Mark Herzlich is living the dream of thousands of veteran NFL players who will never make it to the Super Bowl. As if that wasn't emotional enough, the Conestoga High School graduate's story is the stuff legendary sports stories are made of. In May 2009 the Conestoga High School and Boston College football star was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer in his leg. For Herzlich's doctors, the diagnosis was a game changer. The 'experts' told Herzlich he would never play football again, and he might not even be able to walk once the treatment ended. For Herzlich it was just a bump in the road. Ok, a huge bump in the road, a game changer but not a game ender. 50 rounds of chemotherapy, weeks of radiation …

Mark Herzlich's road to the Super Bowl has had a few potholes, like cancer, Like being told in May 2009 that he might never walk again, let alone play football. The former Conestoga High School and Boston College star is not only walking, he's playing for the New York Giants and about to run onto the biggest stage in all of American sports. Back in August Herzlich told TE Patch he had set his mind on a goal of not just beating the rare form of bone cancer that threatened his leg and his life but of playing in the National Football League. Now at the end of his first season in the NFL Herzlich will be suiting up for a game that most NFL players never play in. Click here to see Herzlich talking about his remarkable journey to the big game in…

Yes, he was a fantastic lacrosse player, but Mark Herzlich was born to play football in the NFL. (sorry, Sandy : ) ) Nothing would stop him. Nothing. Great story that keeps getting better about a great young man from a great family. Mark, good luck, on Sunday, and every other day. 58!   more ›
