White Sox in the Kitchen
A diehard Sox fan is painstakingly recreating recipes from the team's 1983 cookbook Home Plate: The White Sox Favorite Recipes, which compiled favorite dishes of everyone in the organization, from team members to office workers. To give you some background, that season resulted in an AL West title, ending a nearly thirty year losing streak for the team. So it made sense for any Sox fan to celebrate with a slice of Tony La Russa's Tropical Delight Cake, the first recipe listed on the site (it contains wheat germ, so you know it's legitimately from the '80s).

I had that cookbook when I was a kid! I might even still have my copy in some box in the basement.
While LaRussa's cake is pretty sophisticated, there's also a recipe for Coca-Cola steak, which was basically just a steak marinated in Coke and maybe some salt and pepper.
