After six years of reporting from the sideline as a sportscaster for ESPN, Erin Andrews got to be part of the action when she competed on Dancing with the Stars. Erin, who took third place with her partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, tells Rachael that although the practices were grueling, it meant she got to eat a lot to make up for all the calories she burned. "Chicken nuggets at the drive-thru, two desserts at every meal," she laughs. "And I still lost two dress sizes!" This season, Maksim is teamed with Brandy, and Erin has a bit of advice for the singer: "Bring Maks a mirror so he can look at himself and be like, 'I am so gorgeous,'" she jokes in Russian accent.

Erin is an ambassador for Kraft's Huddle to Fight Hunger campaign, which also features football Hall of Famer Joe Montana. With one in six Americans not knowing where their next meal is coming from, the goal of the Kraft campaign to get out 20 million meals to hungry Americans. "You're putting football and food together," Erin says, "and I don't know if anything else goes better than that!"

Rachael has a bit of football fun by pitting Erin and Joe against each other in a friendly "Tailgate Taste-Off!" Since Erin admits that she's better with a takeout menu than with a spatula, the pair are joined in the kitchen by Food Network favorites, Pat & Gina Neely. Check out the competition here!
