The biggest football game of the year is in New Orleans: can you think of a better reason to throw a party this Sunday?

Potluck-worthy dishes to please a crowd for the big game.

Sunday Dinners comes to us from our own chef/photojournalist/farmer/father figure Tom Hirschfeld, featuring his stunning photography and Indiana farmhouse family meals.

Today: Tom makes ribs, but not because of football. (Don't miss Tom's 5 rib tips).

We get ready for game day -- and stretch the definition of genius in the name of deliciousness.
