This week is Super Bowl week in New Orleans. As we get ready for Super Bowl 47 between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, I believe its right to help home chefs step their game up with a look at ideas for Super Bowl food.

Today's edition deals with nachos.

Nachos nowadays can come in all shapes and sizes. With many of us having bigger appetites, and the longer than ever pre-game shows which none of us really pay attention to, the size of the nachos is important.

But I want to focus on the quality of nachos. Nachos should use quality tortilla chips, cheese and a meat of some sort.

This story from the New York Times talks about a star of the show...short ribs.

This recipe features braised short ribs done in a wonderful way. It includes lots of spice and beer. 

It sounds so amazing, I want to make it part of my Sunday buffet.
