Week 17 was an exciting finale to the regular season, setting the stage for January and February football, and April's draft.

Wildcard Weekend Lineup
Postseason will be kicking off in Houston on January 5 when the AFC South champion Texans play host to the Colts. This game will mark the third time this year that these two teams have met, and if the two earlier games are any indication, this one could get wild. In Week 4, the Texans won 37-34 in overtime. The Colts then got revenge with a 24-21 win on the road in Week 14.

In the AFC's other wild-card showdown, the Chargers will make their first playoff appearance in five years when they travel to Baltimore. The two teams met earlier this season in a game where the Chargers got shut down at home by Baltimore's defense during a 22-10 Ravens win.

As for the NFC, playoff football will finally be returning to Chicago after an eight-year absence when the Bears host the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. The game on Sunday will mark the first time since January 2011 that the Bears have hosted a playoff game. In the NFC's other wild-card game, the Seahawks will be traveling to Dallas to take on a Cowboys team that will be hosting a playoff game for the third time in five years. For Wildcard Weekend, here are the match ups we're looking at:

Saturday, January 5

Colts VS. Texans

NFC Wildcard Playoff
Seahawks VS. Cowboys

Sunday, January 6
AFC Wildcard Playoff
Chargers VS. Ravens

The Origins of Appetizers

An appetizer is a small dish of food or a drink taken before a meal or the main course of a meal to stimulate one's appetite. Who decided we needed food before more food? Keep reading to learn about the origins of appetizers! Then take a look at what delicious pre-meal snacks we have to offer here at Li'l Rizzo's . Appetizer History Virtually all cultures have indulged in pre-meal morsels designed to whet the appetite. The ancient Greeks and Romans sampled bits of fish, seasoned vegetables, cheese and olives prior to their meals. Italians often ate thin rolls of grilled veal to stimulate the appetite for the meal to come. Wealthy Frenchmen picked at hors d’oeuvres throughout fancy meals from the late 17th through the mid-19th centuries. These snacks ranged from oysters and stuffed eggs to slices of beef tongue or braised quails.

Brew, barley soda, liquid bread, and suds. There are so many different terms and phrases for the ice cold beverage we all love. The one that confuses us the most though, is draught and draft...how do we know which one to use, or how to pronounce it? Li'l Rizzo's has the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks , so we're curious what the difference is between draught and draft.

A widget is a small plastic ball that you'll find in the can of your favorite draug...

The meu at Li'l Rizzo's has a variety of different types of pasta. Why All These Shapes and Sizes?  Chefs use different shapes and sizes of pasta for different purposes because certain shapes hold different sauces better than others.
