The NFL playoffs will continue this weekend. We are rooting for the Saints, who play this Saturday against the Cardinals at 4:30. The game will be played in NOLA, so expect continued NOLA pride and cheer.
If you don't have the opportunity to go to the game you can arrange for your own private football party in the comfort of your home. In the spirit of NOLA pride we recommend the following NOLA based goodies at your football party.
