THE EDIBLE BRACKET
We’ve spent the last several months cooking, boiling, baking, pickling, frying, mixing, drinking, slurping, sipping and digesting our way through the 64 teams in this year’s NCAA tournament.
A food or drink representing each of the 64 teams below has been prepared by Laura or Anna. Some of them are delicious, some of them are wacky, some of them are downright disgusting. All of them, however, were consumed.
Click on the team names below, which link to a blog post for each of the teams (and also indicate Anna’s bracket picks—go Kansas!).
Bon appetit!
