"All of my friends are sports fans, and if they aren't, they have to act like they are. You're not allowed to have extraneous talking!" says Andrews, who serves the same chicken wings that her family (dad Steve, mom Paula and little sis Kendra, a dancer who appeared in Step Up 3D) ate together on game days growing up.
Aside from recipes, Andrews also adopted some sports superstitions from her parents. "If a team is doing badly, Erin does a full wardrobe change," says Kendra. Adds Andrews: "I got it from Dad. Even my dog changes her shirt!"
