Stadium Snack Disaster
- Dan built an ambitious football stadium out of food for a Super Bowl party that fell apart and was mostly uneaten.

Classic Sour Cream And Onion Love
- Michael loves sour cream and onion dip made from Lipton dried onion soup mix and sour cream and considers it the king of dips.
- He pairs it with classic Lay's chips but sometimes prefers sturdier Ruffles to avoid breakage.
Homemade Fried Tortilla Chips
